Scholarly journals, also known as periodicals or serials, are usually an essential resource for researchers in the arts, humanities and social sciences. They include articles which can provide in-depth and up-to-date consideration of a subject. Your home library should hold printed copies of some journals. Your library may also provide access to electronic journals, this could be in the form of individual titles through the library catalogue or in full-text databases through the library website.

This section provides help on locating, accessing and evaluating journal articles, whether in printed or electronic format.
