Travel & Tourism, Events and Hospitality: Journals & books

A Library subject guide for Travel & Tourism, Events and Hospitality

Journal databases

Most of the Library's journal articles can be found using Summon. For advanced searching capabilities, these journal databases contain abstracts of journal articles (and often conference proceedings, books and theses) in business and related fields. They often, but do not always, link to the full text of these items. For more information on using electronic journal databases, see our library guide to journals.

Event Management

Event Management is an international scholarly journal. Access is available to articles published from the year 2000 to present. The current year's content isn't accessible via Summon - visit their website to browse this. Event Management can be found by searching on the Library Journals Search.
