Browsing magazines on-line

Many people know about our databases of full-text journals. These are accessible by all TAFE Staff and students. They are promoted at all Library induction sessions and a workshop on this subject earlier this year was well attended. A keyword search will turn up a plethora of quality related journal articles useful for research. All you need is the User Id and password issued by the Library.


Sometimes however you may only wish to browse magazine articles of a particular title. But finding a title has been a little long-winded, needing to choose relevant databases. Now however, it's just one click away. Try the following link:

eJournal A-Z

You can also find this link in the e-resources tab of the TAFECAT

Here you may search for you favourite magazine title and be able to browse through many years of back issues, in most cases.

You can also search journals by their subject. Under History of Australia and Oceania there are more than twenty titles available, with Australian Aboriginal Studies and Australian Historical Studies as examples.

Please note however that you will be asked for your DET User Id and Password, issued to all TAFE students.
