If you do use it show you understand this. It is a good place to start as it will often give you links to other useful websites.
The following search engines have been suggested for use by the exam board:
Google Books http://books.google.com/
The British Library http://www.bl.uk
Intute http:www.intute.ac.uk/
MIT Libraries http://dome.mit.edu/
ArchNet http://archnet.org/lobby/
Flickr http://www.flickr.com/commons
Library of Congress http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html
Bubl.ac.uk – new good search engine
If possible use other websites like google scholar scholar.google.co.uk
