Swetswise E-journals Access

Please note that the Swetswise journals platform will be unavailable from 11am until 5pm this Sunday (February 24) due to essential maintenance work.  Any links on our Journals A-Z which bring you to this platform will not work during this time.

Often e-journals are available via more than one platform or database.  A really handy of way of checking this is to use DCU Library's SerialsSolutions tool - just enter the journal title and it will return you a complete listing of the different platforms it is available on along with information on how many issues or years are available (this can vary from one database to another).

Swetwise Upgrade Jan 8

Any titles on our Journals A-Z which are linked via Swetwise will be unavailable from 7am-7pm tomorrow, January 8 to allow for an upgrade of their interface.

If there is a particular title you require access to, you could try DCU's SerialsSolutions link resolver tool to see if there is an alternative provider.

SerialsSolutions Downtime

The SerialsSolutions journals resource will be unavailable from 5pm to 11pm on Saturday, October 24.

SerialsSolutions pulls all journals held across all of our (as well as DCU and Mater Dei's) online databases and organises them into a handy A-Z so you can quickly find if a particular journal is available online, along with archive details and a direct link to it.
