2. Use SHU library links to access our journal subscriptions
The cost of these subscriptions is included in your tuition.
Our subscription isn’t validated if you go directly to a journal’s public site (for example, from a Google link).
Outside our subscription link, you will be asked to pay for each article you wish to access.
DON’T PAY TWICE! Use the library link.
Ask a reference librarian for help to find your journal and print or download articles.
