Electronic Resources

Use of the Library's Electronic Resources is guided by the Policy on Acceptable Use of Electronic Resources

Where to start your search of the Library's ever increasing electronic resources depends on:

• what type of material you are looking for (journal articles or monographs? citations, abstracts, or full-text?)
• whether you are looking for a known item (known citation, particular journal title) or you want to search for whatever information might be available.

E-Journals A-Z
Access the individual journal titles that are available online.
The E-journals A-Z list allows you to browse alphabetic lists of the journal titles available online. Remember, the Library also has many more journals available in print which can be found by searching the Library Catalog.

Database Finder (E-Resources A-Z)
Find the databases that contain content relevant to your topic.
The Library subscribes to many different types of electronic resources, from those that provide indexes of journal articles to those that aggregate full-text content from a variety of different publishers. The Database Finder provides alphabetic and subject-based lists of these electronic resources, including descriptive and coverage information to help you select the most relevant resources.
