Search for journal articles using the library search box
Help with searching for journal articles:
You can refine your results by using the options on the left of the results screen:
You can also add additional keywords to the search box but, be aware that you will lose the options that you selected.
When you have found an article that you are interested in:
If the article is not available in full-text in the library you can request a photocopy of the article via the University's Inter-Library Loan (ILL) service. The library will try to get a copy for you from another library; however, this is not guaranteed as it depends on whether the article is available and whether that institution is happy to supply.
Everything you need to complete your module should be available online; however if, when doing independent research, you find an article that is not available electronically, but is available in print you can request it using the library's Scan and Send* service.
*You may only request one article from a single journal issue. These limits are governed by copyright legislation, and you will be required to complete a copyright declaration when making your request.
It looks like the library has access to a journal article, but it won't open for me. What can I do?
If you find a journal article that you would like to read, as long as the University subscribes to the journal, you will be able to access it by entering your student email address and your (Canvas) password.
Your student email address is your student ID followed by @students.lincoln.ac.uk
If you continue to have access issues email Helen Williams your Subject Librarian with details of what it is you are trying to access.

You should look for a permanent link when you find information on the library website. Copying the URL in the address bar may result in the link breaking as it contains information about the search session rather than a direct link to the source.
Look for the 'Permalink' option to the right of the screen (see screenshot below). When you click on the permalink option you will see a permanent link appear above the title of the article. Use this to ensure that you can get back to the relevant page.
