Print
The library receives around 500 print journals, including most of the core management journals such as the Harvard Business Review and the Economist, as well as more general titles such as
The New Yorker . The print journals are available for reading in the library and are also available for three day loan to all MBS students, MBS staff and registered MBS alumni.
Older volumes of journals are kept in the library
basement and will be retrieved upon request.
The McLennan also holds several local and overseas newspapers for leisure reading and for employment information.
Electronic
Journal articles in databases and through the web
In addition to the articles in the print journals, thousands of
journal and newspaper articles are available — nearly all in full-text
— in electronic form. There
are two main sources of electronic journal content:
- through electronic databases that aggregate thousands of journals under one product title
— such as in the EBSCO databases
-
directly from the web portals of the individual journal publishers
—
for example, directly from
the site of the Wall Street Journal.
In some instances, journals delivered directly via
individual web-portals offer additional content to that
contained in both the print issues and in the databases.
See our
Premium content journals list for access
instructions to additional content available to MBS
students and staff.
Journal article databases
There are two main sources of journal article
databases:
- the McLennan Library has a number of electronic products,
delivered to library patrons under the umbrella name
of the Arcadia suite, in which are located a number of databases that contain
full-text journal articles. The main Arcadia databases
that contain journal articles are
EBSCO's Business Source Complete, PsycARTICLES, and Factiva.
- the University of Melbourne also subscribes to a number of electronic databases
that include full-text journal articles and these are
accessible via the university's Supersearch services.
Supersearch is
available to university award students and staff. The main sources of journal content on the
SuperSearch service are JSTOR, Web of Science, and
Lexis-Nexis.
Most of the journal article content available via the
SuperSearch service is searchable via GoogleScholar.

Locating journal articles elsewhere and Inter Library Loans
There will be instances when you will not be able to find an article you want, either because the library doesn't subscribe to the print journal, or the electronic databases have citations to the desired article but
not the full-text of the article itself.
To find out how articles may be obtained,
see How to locate material elsewhere, or contact library staff on informationsupport@mbs.edu |
