Q. How do I use the e-journal portal?

To see whether the specific journal is available electronically you can perform a journal title search via the e-resources page, under the ‘Resources’ menu on the Library website.

Under ‘Electronic Journals’ at the bottom of the page, click on the ‘Journals A-Z list’.

Enter the journal title into the ‘Find Journal by Title’ search box at the top of the page and click on the ‘Search’ button.

If access is available through multiple databases, check the access statement under each database name if you want to browse for articles published within a particular date range. If you are off campus, you will be prompted to enter your WesternAccount login.

Some databases offer a search option within the publication where you can enter keywords or you can browse by year, volume and issue.

There will be a PDF icon or link for articles where full text access is available.
