Library Online

Library Online: Introduction

The Library subscribes to a comprehensive collection of online resources. These allow you to search for journal, magazine and newspapers articles, e-books, images, video and sound clips.
Many of these resources give you an abstract of the article and details of the volume or issue in which it appeared. Others provide you with the full text so you can read or print the article in its entirety. For a complete list of the resources available use the 'See All Resources' link below.
Most of the online resources can be accessed without having to come to the Library. So if you need to carry out research or find information from the studio, workshop, home or anywhere else with an internet connection why not try the Library Online.

Finding Journal Articles

If you're looking for information on a particular topic for research or course work, you can use the following resources to search the contents of journals and e-journals for articles that match your area of interest.

Each resource allows you to search a collection of information in particular subject areas, for example film, performing arts fine art or design. Each collection may include the contents from hundreds of journals but will not include everything that has been published. To get a larger number of relevant results, don't just rely on one resource but try a number that cover your subject area.

E-books

E-books are books that are readable on the web. All our e-book collections can be found and accessed through the Library catalogue and will need you to log in with your AUB username and password.

Alternatively, access e-books using the resources below, which will allow you to carry out more detailed searching in the contents and text of each book. Some will also allow you to create personal bookshelves for storing e-books or to find additional content such as images and other web sites.
