- How do I access electronic journals?
The electronic journals subscribed to by the Library are listed on Library Search. You can also browse our e-journals using BrowZine and discover the most relevant e-journals on your Subject Guide.
To find a journal using Library Search, type the title of the journal into the search box and once you have identified your title, click 'View Online'. You may be asked to log in with your University username and password.
BrowZine allows you to browse the articles within a particular e-journal title. To access BrowZine whilst on campus, navigate to the BrowZine website. BrowZine will recognise you're on campus and automatically pass you through to the e-journal subject list.
From off campus, you will need to select Newcastle University from the library list on the BrowZine website. You will then be asked to login using your Newcastle University Campus ID and password.
Once you have accessed BrowZine, you can either browse by subject category or you can search by title, subject or ISSN.
- How do I access law databases, e.g. Westlaw or Lexis+ UK?
Law databases can be easily accessed via the Law Subject Guide under the Databases & Resources tab.
You may be asked to log in using your Newcastle University Campus login name (e.g. C2012345) and password.
Alternatively if you know the name of the database you want to access, you can type that in to Library Search and then connect directly from the search results page.
