Use the Library's subject specific databases when you want to find articles within a particular subject area. The subject databases contain many different journals within a subject. First, select the database that suits your area, and then use the database customized search features to find relevant articles.
To the database list
Some databases contain articles in full text, while other databases only contain article references. If you follow the link FIND@GU in the database results list, you will learn if the journal is available as full text or in print. The link looks like this:
Finding scholarly articles
Scholarly journal articles are peer reviewed before being published. The review is performed by experts on the subject, to guarantee that the article is of high scholarly quality.
Use subject specific databases when performing strategic searches for scholarly articles. There you can limit your search to peer review articles and use the databases' search features to obtain a good result.
Accessing full text articles
Students and staff at the University of Gothenburg can access full text articles through the university network, or by logging in with the GU account when outside of campus. Everyone visiting the University Library can use our computers to access full text articles.

Collecting printed journals
Some of the libraries' printed journals are placed on open shelves, available for you to collect and borrow by yourself. Older issues of journals are kept in closed stacks. These will have to be requested.
