The Collections| pages provide information on all of the Library's electronic resources, including journals, ebooks, and data resources.
Ejournals
Electronic Journals can be found by looking at the Ejournals portal|. Here you can search by journal title, and also by subject. The following subject headings are available for browsing:
When you find a title, you may need your LSE username and password to gain access. See Access and Support| for more information. To get access off campus, always use links form the library catalogue or webpages to ensure you get the full content that LSE subscribes to.
Locating journals
-
To find printed and electronic versions of a particular journal title, choose 'Find Results In: Journal Title Browse' on the Library Catalogue 'Quick Search' screen. If the Library subscribes to both formats, there will be one entry for the printed version and one for the e-version.
-
The printed version will have a classmark on the catalogue record (click on the floor symbol where it says 'Map' to see where to go). If the LSE does not have the printed journal, check the electronic journals link mentioned above or the Union List of Serials for journal holdings across London University or COPAC across the UK.

Here is a very small selection of some key titles:
Journals not held at LSE:
-
If the LSE does not have the printed or electronic version of a journal then you can check to see if other libraries have it using a number of different catalogues.
-
Use the Inter-Library Lending service for journal articles that you cannot easily get to yourself by clicking on the 'Requests and inter-lending' button on the Library Catalogue and select the 'Request a journal from another library' option.
DOI
Many articles will have a digital object identifier (DOI). This can be used to cite and link to electronic documents. A DOI is guaranteed never to change, so you can use it to link permanently to electronic documents. For example: dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.disc.2007.07.028|.
