Some databases provide the full-text of the article in the database in either HTML or PDF format. Others just give you the basic details but you have to access the full-text via a link that might say 'SFX' or 'Full-text'.

If you are on-campus or have the VPN activated on your device when you are off-campus, you should click on the link and it will take you to the full-text if the Library subscribes to the journal.

If it doesn't do this, then search Library Catalogue Plus to see if we subscribe to the journal you need (including the correct year).  If you get stuck, contact the Library (library@lboro.ac.uk).

You need to search via the VPN and multi-factor authentication (MFA) when you are off campus, this link will show you how to download this onto your device.

For referencing and bibliographies use Cite Them Right Harvard. You can also contact your Academic Librarian

The Library subscribes to British Standards Online.  This is the best place to start your search. Don't forget to use the VPN and Multi-Factor Authentication if you are accessing it from off-campus.  You can also access standards from ASTM and some other specialist resources like IEEE.

Go to the listing of All Databases and search for 'case studies'.  This will list some of the main databases that include information about case studies and will hopefully cover the subject area you are looking in. If not, then go into the databases that are recommended for your subject and do a search, then look for a tick box to limit your results to case studies or include 'case study' or 'case studies' or 'case stud*' in your search to narrow down the results that way.

From Library Catalogue Plus look at the options at the side of the page and click on ‘eBook’ in the ‘Format’ section to limit the results to eBooks. Click on ‘Get full text’ to open the eBook.
