The Library subscribes to print journals on behalf of the Department of Electronic, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. Journals are often a source of the most current information on a topic and are arranged in subject order like books. |
Journal Archive
Except for the current year, back issues of journals are shelved in the Journal Archive Stacks #9 - 13 on the Ground Floor. These are also arranged in Dewey Decimal Classification System order.
Journals may not be borrowed but articles maybe photocopied (subject to Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000).
Some print journals allow online access as part of the subscription. The link for online access is incorporated into the library catalogue record for the particular journal title.
