Electronic journals and other databases

  • You may find it easier to get started with the shorter lists in each Subject Focus.

The databases listed fall into a number of categories:

  • services which index a wide range of arts journals
  • services which also contain (or link to) full text of journal articles
  • technical information (British Standards etc.)
  • catalogues of other libraries that you may want to visit
  • images or music
  • internet gateways
  • collections of electronic books

We have database helpsheets available for many of them.
