Studying a science topic like Marine Biology / Oceanography
we have to write quite a few scientific based essays
or papers.
Using published material as a source of information
is really important and lecturer's are looking for use
of journals and articles. Through the university intranet
you can access library resources and databases like
BIOSIS and CAB but a lot of journals are published by
the same publishers.
Below are two of the most useful journal publishers
I have found. Students can use their ATHENS login
to access most of these journals free. For info on
your ATHENS login if you are not sure check your intranet.
The Bangor University ATHENS login is your user name
with the letters BAN infront then normal password.
Web of Science is one of best places to start
a search this is the Athens login page for students http://auth.athensams.net//
for articles on springer
link my tip is go through a library catalogue
searching for the journal you need. If its springer
published you will be offered a link to the articles
online & asked
to put the barcode number off your library card
and your pin number in rather than use your athens
login. It works & gives you full access !!
