Googling and Summon and Library Subject Guides

Go to MyUniHub and go to the Library section - go to Summon for a search like Google within the uni system - you can tick boxes to the left to limit your search to full pdfs and more scholarly (peer-reviewed) articles. 

Also go to the various Library Subject Guides - there is one for dance, Theatre Arts and WBL (good for research books).

On group calls only the audio works well, and sometimes when the connection is not good you might just want to turn the camera off - the video icon that is...

You can also have a Google + account free.
