Quick access to online books and journal articles:
-
Library Searchis the quickest and easiest way to find a wide selection of Journal Articles and eBooks on any given topic. Enter a few words or phrases into the main search bar, and refine your results to show 'books' and 'articles' with 'full-text online'.
When you are off-campus, you will need to sign-in as a Goldsmiths user. You might be automatically prompted to sign-in, but if not, look for a sign-in option (usually at the top of the page). You will probably see a range of choices - look for either Institutional or Shibboleth log-in. You might then need to choose your region/university - after which you can enter your username and password to access the full-text.
Note: Some content in our collections is not available via Library Search. If you are conducting a literature review you should search beyond library search.
