Library Skills
Finding Journals
The Library has a large range of journals that are available for you to access and use as a student, researcher or staff member of RGU.
Most of the time you will be using databases to search for a full range of journal articles on a topic but sometimes you may want to find out if we have a specific journal title, what years we have, if it is online or in print and how you can access it.
Finding Print Journals
Have a look at our list of available print journals:
The list tells you the journal title, the ISSN, where to find the journal and what years are available. Please note that the date information for the print journals is being reviewed.
Once you have found the journal title you are interested in:
- If the journal is available on level 8 you can then come in and locate the journal on the shelves.
- If it is available in the level 2 store please make a request with the reception desk for it to be retrieved.
- If you are an online learner you can make a request for an article from the journal to be sent to you.
Finding E-Journals Using LibrarySearch
You can use the LibrarySearch tool to find electronic journals. There are two ways of doing this:
Using Journal Search
From LibrarySearch page, locate the Journal Search link.
You will be taken to a dedicated journal search page for searching for journal titles or ISSN.
If we have a subscription to the journal you searched for, you'll find it here. To find out what years are available and to access the journal, click on available online.
Using the Refining Options
You can also search for the journal via the Library Homepage.
