As part of your studies you will need to access a wide range of material to support your learning. In this section you will discover how you can access databases and additional sources.
Use Library Search to find books (including eBooks) and journal articles on your reading lists or mentioned in lectures or tutorials.
Where journal articles are included in an online reading/resource list, you can click on the link to access the full text. Otherwise, if you know the specific journal you want, you can find it through Library Search, or from the Library's Find an ejournal page: search by the name of the journal and then follow links to the year, volume number and page number of the article you want.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a specific journal, you can search by title or subject at Browzine.
