Journals

  • To find printed and electronic versions of a particular journal title, search for the title on the Library Catalogue then use the options on the left hand side of the screen to select 'journals' or 'electronic journals'. 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 view its location in the Main Collection
  • To access the e-version, click on the "Click here for full text" link in the catalogue record. Alternatively, go to the Journals page via the Electronic Resources link on the Library home page for full-text electronic journals. You can search alphabetically, by title, by subject or by ISSN.  These can be accessed via your LSE username and password

Journals not held at LSE

  • If 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 as listed here
  • Use the Inter-Library Lending system for journal articles that you cannot easily get to yourself by clicking on the "Interlending" button on the Library Catalogue and select the "Request a journal from another library" option

Locating journal articles

Locating journal articles can be done either through the website of a resource or by using a search across multiple resources. Do not assume a simple Google search will find all articles - the Library provides powerful searches which include Google Scholar and more.

  • The Library provides a searching service for LSE staff and students called Cross Searcher that searches the content of a number of selected databases and resources. This can be used to find journal articles, and where available, links through to the full text, using the LSE article finder orange button: articlefinder
  • Article databases, including those in Cross Searcher and many more, are also listed on the Library Catalogue.
  • Click here to see databases relevant to Accounting and Finance.
  • On the Ejournals page you can search for individual ejournals by title or ISSN. You can also browse ejournal titles by subject or choose from a list of major ejournal databases. LSE Staff and students will need to use their LSE username and password to access these.
