E-journals: frequently asked questions

Are all journals available electronically?

No, although more are becoming available each year.

Can I get any journal article online?

No. You can only get those contained in journals to which we have a subscription or which are freely available. All of the titles to which we subscribe are available through the . Most titles are also listed on the , and you can search for articles via the Summon Discovery Service. Some high quality, free e-journals are also available via these routes.

If we don't have the article you need (in print or online) you can usually apply for it via our Inter-library loans service.

If you are on a publisher's website you may be able to use the Advanced search to limit your results to subscribed content only, although this will work only if you are on-campus or have logged in to the website via an Institutional login, so that the site knows that you are a member of the 澳门六合彩开奖记录.

How does the Library get its e-journals?

In most cases we have to either hold a subscription to a particular title or a subscription to a service that gives access to e-journals. Very few e-journals are available free (although there is a growing trend towards Open Access), but the general rule is "if we don't subscribe to it we don't have access to it".

How can I tell which journals the Library has online?

For the most comprehensive listing you need to use the . You can:

  • search for a title by entering the first few words
  • browse an A-Z list of titles by clicking on the initial letter
  • browse a list of titles by subject - select a subject from the pick-list to browse more detailed subjects in that category and then view relevant titles

You will also find e-journals on the - just search for the journal title. Articles within many of our e-journals can be found via our Summon Discovery Service.

From database search results

You can also access e-journals from database search results by clicking on the “Search for item at Reading” button. This takes you to our Item Finder. For more information see Using the Item Finder.

Why is there sometimes more than one link?

Some e-journals are available from more than one service. Sometimes a longer archive of a title is available from one source rather than another, or one source is available off-campus. Supplying multiple links also means that if one service is unavailable you have an alternative option.

Can I access e-journals off-campus?

Most of our journals are available both on- and off-campus. Check by looking at the information to the right of the link to the journal in the E-journals Finder. It will say "Available on campus only" if it isn't available off-campus.

For those that can be accessed off-campus you will need to login using your University username and password (the one you use to access your University email account). For some of these you will need to go via the Institutional login system.

See the E-journals Finder help page for more information.

Do I need a username and password to access e-journals?

If you are on campus you will be able to access many e-journals without needing to login. Some require you to login using your University username and password (the one you use to access your University email account). For some of these you will need to go via the Institutional login system.

See the E-journals Finder help page for more information.

Do we have access to the ScienceDirect service?

Yes! But for most subjects we only have access to articles published from 1995 onwards. More about ScienceDirect
