Find Print and E-Journals The following high-quality journals in your subject are currently available in print at Glasgow School of Art Library. Some are also available electronically. Journals are the best way of keeping up-to-date with contemporary practice, because it can take a while for cutting-edge practice to be written up in books. Details of our current print holdings can be found in the Library Catalogue, along with links and access instructions if the journal is electronic. All our print journals are arranged on our shelves alphabetically by title, with the latest issues found in the reading area in the Main Library. Journals are reference only and cannot be borrowed, though individual articles can be photocopied subject to copyright limits. In many cases the Library also has back-runs, and these can be found on rolling shelves towards the back of Level 0.

Login for Online Resources In addition to our print collections, you have access to a variety of online resources such as e-books, e-journals and databases (for images, sound, video and maps). A quick way of finding this content is to enter the name of the e-journal or database you are looking for into a library catalogue search. On-campus, a catalogue search will link to the resource details and, provided the Library subscribes, you will be able to link to the resource automatically. Off-campus, you may be prompted for a second login. Where this happens, select the ‘Institutional’ or ‘Alternative login’ link (called ‘UK Federation’ or ‘Shibboleth’) and enter your GSA username and password to access the resource. Alternatively, you can search the content of individual databases by following the ‘Databases’ link on the Library home page.

For journal content, search: Art and Architecture Complete Art and Architecture Archive JSTOR For maps, search: Digimap For high-quality copyright-cleared images, search: SCRAN VADS For ideas on innovative materials, search: Material ConneXion
