Library Search

Finding good quality, reliable information for your assignments, projects, dissertations and research has become much simpler.  Library search is a 'google like' way of searching many of our online collections. You can search for books, eBooks, eJournals, reports, conference materials, and much more.

To get the best out of Library search, login before you start searching for material - use your student or staff ID number and your usual network password.

Online journals

A-Z Journals

If you are searching for a specific journal you can search our online journals by journal title. Alternatively, you can browse by subject area.

Once you have identified a journal(s) click on 'Full Text Access' to see the date range covered by our subscription. Some journals will have more than one link to the full text. Make sure you select the one with the date range you need, e.g., some links will include an embargo period for the most recently published articles but there may be an alternative link to include these.

You can also watch the Online Journals introduction video

BrowZine

BrowZine is another way to search directly for journals (search by journal title or browse by subject).  All the eJournals we subscribe to are linked to this.

To access BrowZine from your smartphone or tablet, download the BrowZine app.
