Electronic databases and electronic journals
Via your home institution's web pages you have access to a range of electronic journals and electronic databases. The former are electronic versions of paper journals, providing the full text of articles. The databases provide tools for searching multiple resources (mainly journal articles, but including conference papers, newspapers and reports). Some of these databases are specialised while others cover a wide variety of subjects. Many provide full text while some provide only a reference, and/or a short resume of the original document.
For more information about electronic services supplied by your home institution please click on the relevant link below:
A program of workshops will be run in the Drill Hall Library Training Rooms, which are designed to assist you in using electronic resources. Please see our Library Training pages for details.
