Searching for journals and e-books LibrarySearch

You will find a search box for LibrarySearch on the Library & Computing tab on the portal.

LibrarySearch is a single search across the books, e-books and journals that we have

available to you at the University of Greenwich. You can search using keywords and it can be

a great way to discover if a particular article is available full text or not. Click on

FindIt@Greenwich to find the full text

Access to full text: you sometimes have trouble authenticating yourself as a University of

Greenwich user to get full text. To ensure that you get full text access when using LibrarySearch, I

advise the following steps: login to the portal, click on the Databases, Journals and E-books link

on the Library & Computing tab, and then click on any link on that page, e.g. Academic Search

Premier. Doing this activates your OpenAthens authentication embedded in your portal

username and password. Now, you will be logged in to our resources and you can search and use

LibrarySearch without a problem.
