Searching for a journal

If you have a reference for a journal article, search Enterprise for the title of the journal the article was published in.

  1. Type in the title of the journal your article was published in, not the title of the article
  2. Click on Search
  3. If your search also retrieves books you can exclude these by selecting "Journal" from the Format limits on the left of the screen.

Note - if you are only interested in online access to the article, you might find it quicker to search Summon instead of Enterprise. Just search for the title of article on Summon.

Example:

To find this article:

Sharon Yam, (2013) The practice of corporate social responsibility by Malaysian developers, Property Management, 31(1), 76 - 91.

  1. Type in: property management
  2. Click on Search

Search results

If your search finds more than one match it will give you a list of all the titles. You may see two records for the same journal.

If the title has a computer icon underneath, this is the online version. The other entry (with a green book icon underneath) is for our printed volumes in the LRC.

Finding out which volumes we have

Online

To find out if the volume you need is available online, click on the link to "Click here to check online coverage and to access available volumes". This will link you to our E-journals Finder and display details of the years available and give you a link to the journal’s website, for example:

This shows that we have volumes from 1983 to 1993 in Emerald Archive, and volumes from 1994 to the present day are in Emerald Journal or Emerald Management 111. Click on the link to the site that holds the year you need. To access the article we want from 2013 we would click one of the bottom two links.

In print

To find out if we have the volume you need in print in the LRC click on record for our printed holdings. The record will show you which volumes we hold. You can borrow print issues of journals for 7-days.

Searching for e-journals

To limit your results just to e-journals, when viewing your results select "Online" from the Access limits on the left of the screen.
