What journals are available?
The NICS Library Service and the CAFRE College Libraries subscribe to a number of journals, either in hard copy or electronically. Below are lists of the journal titles that we currently subscribe to including a link to the e-journal and/or holding information where applicable. Due to copyright licencing restrictions, journals may only be available to staff in specific departments, however please contact us if you have any questions about this.
In addition to the individual journals we take, the NICS Library Service also subscribes to several online databases including EBSCO Discovery, Emerald and Science Direct which provide immediate access to thousands of full text journal articles from a wide range of sources covering all academic and business subject areas. You can find the full list of online resources available on our Online Databases page.
To search or browse the publications available via each of these online databases use the following links:
- Ebsco Discovery - Click on the Publications tab at the top left
- Emerald Publications
- Science Direct Publications
If you have checked the databases for a particular journal or article and haven't been able to locate it, get in touch with the details as we may be able to obtain a copy through Inter library loan.
