Accessing Journals
The library provides access to hundreds of journals mainly online. The easiest way to access e-journals is via the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub. Log in with your OpenAthens account to access Sherwood Forest Trust Content.
Search for the journal article by title, or for the subject you are interested in. You will be presented with either links direct to the full-text or a simple request form so the Library can obtain a copy for you at no charge.
You can also use the Browse Journals option if you just want to browse a few favourite journals. This uses Browzine which brings together e-journals from multiple publishers and platforms, and presents them in an easily browsable format.
