Conservation

Academic journals are scholarly periodicals (i.e. publications which come out on a regular schedule) which contain articles on specific subjects.

They are important in academic research for a number of reasons:

• they are an important forum by which scholarly research is published,

• they can explore a narrow topic or problem in conservation in depth,

• they contain current or recent research findings,

• they go through a process called peer-review, which means that research findings are checked by other subject experts

Use the Library website to search across multiple databases:

The Electronic journals tab allows you to search the library's collection of journals. If you are looking for a journal about a particular topic or have found a likely looking article in a bibliography and want to check if we have access, this is often the best place to go.

If you need an article in a journal which is not available from the library, we may be able to obtain it via interlibrary loan.

Browzine is another way to search the library's journal collections--if you prefer getting information in a visual format, you may want to start here.
