Subject guides

Students on Distance Learning Courses: Journals, newspapers and other resources

A general guide to using library resources for students on distance learning courses, who may never come onto campus.

Journal collections

You can search for many of our electronic journals via Summon. You may already know the title, or if you don't you can use keywords.  Also, you may want to use BrowZine which offers the opportunity to browse the library's ejournals on virtual shelves. You can discover, read and monitor the key journals in your field online or via an app on your tablet or phone.

Here are some of the key resources covering a range of subject areas:

Media Resources

Newspapers

Summon

Summon is the best place to start your search for relevant online information sources, as it links to many of our electronic resources, including ebooks and electronic journal articles. 

You can find Summon by clicking on "Library and Summon" tab in My Hud, or by entering library.hud.ac.uk into your browser. 

As a distance learning student, you will be able to access most of our electronic resources and services, but not all. If in doubt, please contact us at library@hud.ac.uk.
