Cancellations for 2019: European Journal of Palliative Care; JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute

You have access to many hundreds of journals.  Do ask if you can’t find what you need.  Sometimes you just need to look in a different place.

I have a reference and I want to find the full text to the article.

Method 1:
Library HIVE page
> Select eJournals from the icons or side bar
> type in title of journal and submit
> It will tell you if we don’t have full text access or any restrictions to access
> If we do, find the year, volume, issue and title of the article and click to download
> OpenAthens may be required

Method 2:
Library Internet page
> as above.  Site available from anywhere

Browzine is available as an app. Read about it here.

Method 3: (this may not be as up to date as Browzine.)

On either of the links above, select the icon for Library Catalogue

> type in the title of the journal and click on the link.  You might need to select from several supplier so look at the dates and choose the one that matches your requirement.
> Enter your OpenAthens details at a link that specifies OpenAthens
> Find your article using the title or year, vol, issue

But my article isn’t available full text!

> You will have to request an inter library loan which usually costs £5 but we can advise you on the cost
> This can be done from the Library HIVE page but not externally
> Do not waste time, you can always ring or email for help!

Actually, I want to search for articles about a topic!

To do that you will need to search the databases such as Medline, Embase or Cinahl
A link to the NHS database search can be found using the Library HIVE or Internet link .

> The Library Service offers training courses to help you do this more effectively.  There are some elearning modules you can take or you can ask for a 1-to-1 session
> you can also search the Trip database and PubMed

If you are stuck at any point do ask the library staff for help.  That is what we do!

Recently we were surprised to be told we do not take Lancet Oncology, Cancer Research and the Annals of Oncology.  We are pleased to announce this is fake news. We do take all 3 top journals.  So the problem must be access.  Here we will guide you through how to access these and other journals within and outside the Trust.

As with anything available electronically, there are many ways that you can access these journals.  For this we will presume you either have a reference you want to find or you just want to browse the current issue of the journal.

Start with eJournals link on our front page and simply enter the title of the journal and search.  It should take you to the latest issue but also give you access to Articles in Press . For Lancet Oncology and the Annals of Oncology  when you click on an article, this works without a problem.  They will ask you for your OpenAthens and you will be into your article. 

Unfortunately Cancer Research and the other AACR journals do not use OpenAthens do you now have to click on the link to the web site where you do have access to full text anywhere within the Trust – great news!

So now you have accessed these 3 journals you can explore our eJournal link to find other journals.  Unfortunately this only links to journal issues from the beginning of 2007.  It will redirect you for older articles

Outside The Trust, you use the same process but from our external page.  Lancet Oncology and Annals of Oncology and many other journals work from this link but this time I am afraid you do not have access to Cancer Research and the other AACR journals.  They are only available within the Trust.

One really nice thing about this  eJournal search tool is that it is available as an App
