Resource of the ... 3. MyJournals

Todays resource is MyJournals from our colleagues at the National Library for Health .


Put simply this is the one stop you need to find out whether we have a journal available electronically or in paper form.


This counteracts some of the complexity caused by us using multiple suppliers as we attempt to maximise the number of journals we can offer you.


It works best if you use your Athens login - if you don't login you will only see the England wide collection of titles. Once logged in you get extra titles as a London person and as a Newham person. You should be able to jump straight to the full text for electronic titles. MyJournals even includes details of journal content available for free on the Internet.


Perhaps more surprising for something called MyJournals is that you can use it to find details of some of our ebooks. At present I would recommend you stick with NewhamCat for these which is more comprehensive and now includes over 600 links to books and reports in electronic form.


As ever - if we haven't got the journal article you need available straight away we can always get hold it.
