Electronic Journals
Many academic journals are now available online in full-text. The printed journal is exactly replicated on the computer screen, and articles can be read online or printed out.
Electronic journals can be browsed in a similar way to their printed equivalents, by looking at the contents pages or individual issues, but they have the added advantage of being instantly searchable by a variety of access points (author, date, title and so on). They are also available from your own computer when the library is closed!
Find e-journal is an A-Z list of over 28,000 ejournals, available via OxLIP+. Use it to find and connect to journals when you know the title of the journal you wish to use. It is not suitable for keyword or author searching.
It provides straightforward access to all the electronic journals subscribed to by the Bodleian Libraries. Once you have located a journal, finding the issue and article you require is a straightforward process. The way in which you navigate each journal will differ according to its publisher or its host (i.e. the organisation which puts it on the Web, such as JSTOR, Project MUSE or Ingenta).
If you want to search for articles by keyword or author, use Find Database to identify and connect to an index such as the MLA Bibliography. (See the ProQuest 'Getting started with the MLA' guide for further details).
Find e-journal can be accessed from any networked computer in your college, faculty or library. If you are outside of the Oxford network, you will need to log on via OxLIP+, using your Oxford Single Sign-On login and follow the link to OU e-Journals. Please refer to the Bodleian Libraries' Remote Access web page for further details.
For further help with accessing electronic journals, download a copy of the OxLIP+ & Oxford University e-Journals guide, or ask a member of staff for assistance.
