Access to academic research available in libraries

Thousands of academic journal articles are now available to read free of charge in Bromley libraries.

The initiative, run in partnership with Access to Research, allows library users to access a wide range of academic articles and research in public libraries free of charge online. Disciplines include health, history, politics engineering, social sciences and more.

“The library is a great place to start when researching subjects of interest or studying and the opportunity to access academic journals will add to this enormously. Why not call into your local library, get online and see for yourself how easy it is to find articles from leading journals and academics” said Councillor Peter Morgan, Executive Councillor for Renewal and Recreation.

The Access to Research project is a collaboration between libraries and publishers who have made journal content available for free across UK libraries under the initiative. It will provide online licensed access to over 8,000 journals and more than 10 million journal articles and conference proceedings through library computers. 

The access is available in any Bromley library via the PCs.
