Accessing eJournals

The library subscribes to a number of full text e-journals, from which you can download the entire text of an article.

You can find articles in online journals through the catalogue search box on the library's main page. You can also use the library's AtoZ eJournal finder, by following these steps (all of the steps must be followed if the supplier is to recognise you as a York St John user):

  1. Go to electronic journals (by title) on the library homepage
  2. Enter your university username and password as prompted
  3. Enter the title of the journal you wish to find

You will be presented with the record for the electronic journal, with a link to the provider. Click on the provider link and you will be taken to the journal's home page. From here you can navigate to the year, volume and issue you need.

Troubleshooting

  • If you go to a journal website without coming through the library catalogue, you may find that you are not logged in to the resource.  Make sure that you always use the library catalogue, or that you learn how to use the Athens login.
  • If there is more than one supplier listed, and you have trouble accessing the article you want from the first supplier you try, please try the other suppliers.
  • It is important to remember that you will only be able to access journals for which we have an electronic subscription. If you are unable to access the text of an article you require, please check the holdings on the library catalogue. If we subscribe to the hard copy only, you will need to find the paper copy on the shelves at the class number given. If we do not subscribe, you will need to use the inter-library loan service.

If you are unable to access text which is showing in the holdings as available, please contact Question Point on the ground floor of the Fountains Learning Centre or email (libraryqueries@yorksj.ac.uk), telephone 01904 876700 or in person.
