Journals

Journals are a good source of up to date information and are often where research is first published. The Learning Resource Centre stocks both paper journals and  electronic journals.

 

The paper journals are located on display stands near to the books on the same subjects. Sportex Dynamics is a paper journal and is received at the Hub and the University Centre.
