Why do I need to use journals?

Journals are important for finding:

  • the most up-to date research on a topic
  • coverage of a specialised subject
  • original research, experiments and in-depth analysis

The Library subscribes to over 40,000 unique electronic journals. Search or browse the A-Z list of eJournals

  1. Go to OneSearch

  4. Choose the 'Books and more' search mode
  5. If necessary, limit the results to 'Journals' using the refining tools on the right. If you only want to see ejournals, refine further to 'Full text online'
