Key Subject Resources

Library Search enables you to find journal articles quickly and easily. For a more focused and in-depth search, these are the key databases we recommend that you use. The complete list of electronic resources can be found in the A-Z resource list of e-resources.

All electronic resources can be accessed off-campus through the University's VPN service called Global Protect. Further information on how to connect to the University's VPN using Global Protect can be found here.
