Online Learning at QMU: Databases and journals

This guide is designed to support students on QMU programmes who study entirely or mainly online. It provides information about how to access library resources online, and other important information relating to the library and study skills.

QMU Library is the best way to access journal articles. It subscribes to a huge number of journals that your lecturers and academics will have identified as being relevant to your course. 

The quickest way to access these is via QMU’s Discover service, which is a powerful search tool giving you access to the resources QMU subscribes to. However, in the later stages of undergraduate programmes and at postgraduate level you are expected to find academic texts through searching subject specific databases and individual journals, to ensure you are reading widely and have a solid awareness of the breadth of what is being written and published about.
