You already
know that here in the library we have subscriptions to a range of magazines,
newspapers and periodicals, so that you can come in and browse the latest
developments in science, business and culture, or keep abreast of current affairs,
during your free time.
But did you
know that we also have access to the extensive archives of the magazines we
subscribe to? Well, we do. And this is fantastic news, particularly for
those of us that might like to use these in our research for projects,
presentations and assignments. The major
bonus of these is that, as well as the fact that they allow us to read articles
from the entire history of the publication, they are also fully searchable. Simply type in what you are looking for and,
hey presto, you will be shown every article they have relating to that
topic. Just like Google but with much
more reliable, fully verified, high quality material.
Here are
the archives we currently have access to:
