Journals (also known as serials or periodicals) are one of the most important sources of information about research, debates, opinions and issues on a topic (Hart, 2001, p79) and are generally the best source of current, up-to-date information.

The Library has a collection of printed journals and also provides access to a large number of journals in electronic format.
