1. Searching for ejournal/ebook titles
To search for ejournals please use iDiscover. When you locate the resource, you are searching for, click on the title instead of clicking on ‘Online access’.
At the next screen click ‘VIEW IT’ in the left-hand column.
This will give you the full range of access options for your title – which is useful if there are more than one. Select the one relevant to your article and click the publisher link to take you to the article.
If you only click ‘Online access’ you are taken to the first publisher site in the list. By clicking the title you will see the entire range of coverage for that title – which may be spread over multiple publisher sites.
This is less likely to be an issue when searching for ebooks so clicking ‘Online access’ for that type of search should fine. There is further information regarding searching for ebooks here
