Grab a better selection of ejournals


Responding to user feedback we are working to maximise the range and quality of ejournals offered.

For some time now we have had the BMJ group titles available (BMJ, EMJ, ADC, Gut, Heart etc) and the JAMA & Archives collection. We have also have over a thousand other titles via a number of suppliers.

As part of the renewal of journals purchased locally for 2010 we have swapped the paper subscriptions we had with Wiley Blackwell into electronic form. We have invested further to buy access to some three hundred journals from the same publisher. You can find a full list here (NB select Medicine and Nursing Collection from the drop down in Column N to see just the titles available). This means important titles like BJS, BJUi, JAN, BJOG, BJD, BJH and many more are now available at your convenience. Generally you will find the last ten years of issues are available.

The simplest way to browse all our journals is via MyJournals. You need to ensure you use your Athens login (register online if you have not yet done so) to ensure you see everything we offer. You will also find our journal holdings linked from any searches you make in our research article databases. It is worth noting that we some times have access to a title but not direct from the publisher site (The Lancet is one example of this). Use MyJournals to be sure to get the full picture.
