…are sometimes added to the library catalogue when the article is on a reading list but we do not stock the journal it was published in. In such cases, the library purchases a ‘copyright-cleared’ photocopy of the article, then scans and uploads it to the library catalogue. You are required to sign in to the library catalogue to view these articles because they are only ‘copyright-cleared’ for UEL students and staff to view.
To see if the library holds a scanned photocopy of an article on your reading list:
- First check on ‘Find an e-Journal’ (from the ‘e-journals and databases’ page on the library website) to make sure the library does not subscribe to that journal.
- If the library does not subscribe to the journal, then check for a scanned photocopy by searching for the name of the article on the library catalogue. Tip: search using the standard ‘books and more’ tab, not the articles tab (which is something completely different!).
- If the article appears, make sure you are signed in to the catalogue (the sign in option is in the top right corner), then click on ‘Details’ below the article. If it says ‘Electronic text: PDF’, then we have a scanned photocopy.
- Next, click on ‘more details for this item’ and in the window that pops up you should see a link to the PDF copy of the article. Click on this link to open the article.
