E-journals A-to-Z back up & running

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

The problem we were having with error messages on the Electronic Journals A-to-Z has now been resolved, and access to the site is working fine. You can log in to the e-journals via the University Portal.

Some facts & figures about the A-to-Z:

  • The A-to-Z now lists more than 43,000 unique e-journal titles.
  • Most of the journals listed are paid for by the Library, but 1 in 8 ‘hits’ is to a free or open-access journal.
  • The most-used e-journal, the British Journal of Social Work, alone accounts for 1 in 20 e-journal ‘hits’ at the University of Lincoln.
  • If the University Library or one of the campus LRCs also takes the printed, paper version of an e-journal, then that paper copy is also listed on the A-to-Z so you can compare our print and ‘e’ access.
  • The A-to-Z has a new titles page so you can see what e-journals are new to Lincoln.
