    Okay I know from home you can still access UCD's online journal database but it has very little of what I need.

    Is there anyway to use UCD's subscription to pubmed.com (as an example) to gain full access to the journals there? All I can get at home is the abstracts which aren't much use to me.

    Thanks

    Yep

    Go into your ucd connect account, then go to "my library", then click on "databases".

    You'll need to know the publisher of the journal btw, so when you know this, click on the little globe beside the publisher's name, and that'll install a cookie for all of its journals.

    I think almost all journals that we've a sub to are now done that way. There are a few that you have to type in the UCD name and password - details are on connect.

    However, even with a UCD subscription to most of the journals certain years are not available online, particularly when they are stored as backfiles by the database. In that case you will still have to look for a printed version and if that is not available you will need to order the articles via inter-library loan.
