Finding journal articles
For some assignments or a dissertation, you will need to go beyond your reading list and do your own independent research.
Journal articles
The easiest way to find journal articles is to type a few keywords for your topic in LibrarySearch. If we subscribe to it either in print or digitally, a link will be provided to help you find it.
To check if the Library has access to a particular e-journal title, or to browse journals, use find e journal title function or you can go directly to ejournals for your subject via the buttons on the right hand menu on this page.
The Library also subscribes to a number of databases that will help you to find journal articles and more on your chosen topic.
