Databases

Only students and staff with current student or staff cards can use these databases. They are for educational use only. Do not use Internet Explorer when using a database which links to the full text of articles, it has a fault which makes it difficult to display full text. Use Firefox or Google Chrome.
To get into them, find your database in the alphabetical sections below (click the headings to display the lists). Most of our databases are controlled by the Athens login system, links to passwords will be displayed where they are needed:

Accessible database list
Databases listed by subject
If you don't need a password, just click on the name in the database list.
If it says password click the password link to look up the name of the resource in our journals system
Otherwise click the name of the database and put in your Athens username and password when prompted. Not registered for Athens? Athens is only a password system, to search you need to go directly to the databases on the list.
