Full Text Databases

You can use the Library Catalogue (Discovery Search Tool) as a starting point for your search. For a more systematic literature search you can use the individual Journal Databases below using your LSBU login.

Full Text databases generally provide the PDF for articles in your results list. However, these databases also contain records of articles published elsewhere. 

An abstract is a concise summary of the contents of an article. It is written using keywords (search terms) so that other researchers can easily find it through database searching. Please note that we may not have a subscription to the full text of the article. If you are final year student or postgraduate, you can apply for an inter-library loan.

These journal databases are available without a subscription and you can continue to use them after you graduate.
