Use this page to find out whether Abertay provides access to a specific journal title, for example from a reading list, reference, or recommendation.
Check a journal title
What to do:
- Enter the journal title (not the article title)
- You can also search using an ISSN if you have one
You can do this using either
- the main LibrarySearch search box
- or the journal search feature
What to look for:
- Links to available platforms, such as publisher or database sites
- The coverage range, showing which years or volumes are available
Browse journals by subject
If you want to explore journals in your subject area, use BrowZine.
This is useful if you:
- want to discover journals in a subject area
- want to browse current and recent issues
Understanding coverage
When you check a journal, you will usually see a coverage range.
This tells you which years or volumes Abertay has access to.
For example:
- 2002–present means you can usually access content from 2002 onwards
- there may be gaps where some years are not available
If the article you need falls outside the available range, you may not be able to access it directly.
If you cannot access the journal
If Abertay does not have access to the journal, or the article you need is outside the coverage range:
- see Accessing full-text articles for alternative options
- contact Library Services for help
