Journals

Academic journal articles are important sources of information for subject research. DiscoverEd provides search for titles of all the journals, in print and electronic, that the Library subscirbes to. It also provides direct access to the full text of thousands of e-journal articles. Methods of obtaining journal literature via DiscoverEd are illustrated below:

If a printed journal you need is held at the Library Annexe, you can use the Interlibrary Loans service to get the scanning of your required article which will be delivered to you by email. This service is free for Edinburgh University members.

Journal literature beyond Edinburgh

If a particular journal you need is not held in our Library system either in print or electronic, it is worth checking the UK Serials Union Catalogue to see if it is held elsewhere in the country. You can then use the Interlibrary Loans service to request journal articles from other UK libraries or even beyond.
