Online Resources
Library subscriptions mean that many academic journal articles and some e-books can be accessed in full text from Library website links. These articles and books are available to Queen's staff and students using the routes noted below.
Subscriptions to a wide range of online databases also enable you to trace details of articles and books of interest. In many cases, the full text of articles is directly available from the database, or can be found using Library 'QConnect' links.
HSC (Health Service) borrowers and AFBI (Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute) borrowers can access subscription journals and e-books through the honni (Health Service) and AFBI websites

Additional information is available on the Electronic Resources Help page, including a Guide to Access and Authentication.
Existing lists of key databases, electronic journals and current awareness sources arranged by subject have been retained.
