  1. Game Modding Literature Search

  2. Definitions – Simple Google Search Some possibilities for finding very general information, or some information about a specific mod you could be searching for.

  3. Academic Research Articles – Google Scholar Some good sources, but a bit too specific and random to be of much use without reading them all fully. Some irrelevant information.

  4. Academic Research Articles – Advanced Google Scholar More specific search yields better quality results. Still not many results, but there are some relevant and useful ones.

  5. SHU Library Catalogue Here I start with a general search term, and as I’m only searching for book results I change the content type to refine my results. Next I search through the chapters to find relevant or useful information. Then I have some useful information to note down and investigate later.
