If you are accessing the article in NELSON, first check that you are signed in in the top right hand corner. There is a video on the front page of NELSON to help you log in or we have a written guide too.

If you are trying to find a specific journal article, using Find My Reference will determine whether the university has electronic access to the journal or article. You can use Find My Reference to see whether an article is available in full text from the University library. We have a video guide to help you find a journal or journal article on Find My Reference.

Searching with Find My Reference

Choose from article, book or journal and then enter all the information that you know about the item you are looking for.

If more than one electronic journal title contains your search terms you will be offered a choice, just click on the option you prefer.

Article or journal title, dates, page numbers, author, publication details.

No electronic access

If we don’t have electronic access to the journal, you can check to see if we hold it in print in the library by searching for print journals on NELSON. 

If we don’t have it in print, we may be able to get the article as an Inter-Library Loan.
