This page will tell you how to access On-line Journals through the University of Manitoba Libraries portal.

Introduction

Online Journals are a valuable resource when doing research for any type of work. They provide access to many different articles through on-line journals such as IEEE, ACM and many others.

The University of Manitoba provides access to on-line journals through the E-Library System. The E-Library allows you to search through Journal articles either by Subject or Title. For this course, we will be interested in looking for articles under the Computer Science section in the Subject Area.

This page will describe in detail how to access on-line journals through the E-Library system.

Accessing an On-Line Journal

The E-Library can be accessed through the University of Manitoba Libraries website. This will allow you to access on-line journals.

This example will tell you how to access (and log in) the IEEE website.

Steps to access the E-Library:

1. Navigate your web browser to U of M Libraries site.
2. Click on the E-Library link on the left side navigation bar.

Now we find ourselves at the main page for the E-Library. From here you can choose different options depending on what you need to search for. Since we're looking for on-line journals, we'll be mainly interested in that section.

Steps to access an on-line journal:

1. Click on the Find Journal Articles link.
2. In the Select a Subject Area pane, click on the Computer Science link under the Science section.

This next page will show all the journals available to the E-Library that publish Computer Science articles.

1. Now in the database for Computer Science journals, click on the IEEE/IET Electronic Library link.
