Due to the continuing industrial action by postal workers we are experiencing delays in deliveries of our print journal subscriptions. We’ll endeavour to make these available as soon as we receive them but do check the e-journals A-to-Z for e-access.
Users of our Inter-library Loan photocopy service may also find that delivery of their articles may be delayed because of the industrial action. Please bear this in mind when placing a request and allow extra time for delivery.
The e-journals A-to-Z problems have now been resolved. However, if you do experience further problems please and access the A-to-Z directly here:

All print issues will be added to stock as and when they arrive, please check the library catalogue for details of new issues.
In the meantime some publishers are providing online versions for the duration of the strike – the following titles are available as digital editions:
Some users of the e-journals A-to-Z site are experiencing problems with logging in via the Athens system.
Our apologies for any inconvenience caused – we’re looking in to it and will let you know when the problem has been fixed. In the meantime it may be possible to access the site by selecting the Library tab in Blackboard and searching the e-journals A-to-Z from there.
