Journals and e-journals

The majority of the journals we subscribe to are available online, although older volumes of some titles are only available in print. The few titles which we do not have access to online are shelved in alphabetical order in the corridor outside the Classics and Ancient History reading rooms.

You can search for individual journal titles and journal articles in Explore. You can also search or browse a comprehensive list of online journals available at UCL. 

Finding journal articles on a subject

The following databases are useful for searching for journal articles on a specific subject and identifying where you can find them online:

Finding the full text

Find IT@UCL logo

If you're using one of our databases to find journal articles, you might not be able to read the article within the database itself. If you see the Findit@UCL icon, click on it to link to the full-text

Sometimes you will see a link to the publisher's site. Unless the article is open access, you might find that you can't reach the full-text.

Clicking on the Findit@UCL link instead will link you to the full-text via UCL's subscription access, if available.

If you're using Google Scholar you can set up the Library Links feature so that it will display a findit@UCL link to help show you which articles are available via UCL subscriptions. 

Can't find full-text?

UCL has an amazing collection of e-resources, but no library can have full-text access to everything. If you identify a piece of information that would be beneficial to your research, the library will try and source a copy for you via the Inter Library Loans service.You can make a request by logging into UCL Explore and then clicking on the three dots 'show more' menu to access the Inter Library Loan Request form.
