New journal subscription - Australian Feminist Law Journal

We now have access to content from the Australian Feminist Law Journal - coverage runs from 1997 to the current issue. 
A number of Birkbeck staff have written articles for this publication, so please do have a look at the journal and see how many familiar names you can spot!

Two new ejournal subscriptions

The Law School has recently subscribed to two new ejournals, Critical Policy Studies and Safundi: The Journal of South African and American Studies.

Critical Policy Studies: 

"brings contemporary theoretical and methodological discussions, both normative and empirical, to bear on the understanding and analysis of public policy, at local, national and global levels."

Safundi: 

is a peer-reviewed quarterly academic journal that publishes analyses of the United States and South Africa from a transnational and/or comparative perspective, seeking to understand each country in relation to the other.  

Both can be accessed in the usual way, via the ejournals and ebook search on the front page of the library website. 

Ejournal package from Duke University Press

We now have access to a range of Duke University Press journals via the eDuke Scholarly Collection. The collection includes 49 journals, and whilst not purely legal in focus, covers subjects such as gender and sexuality studies, anthropology, history, cultural studies and theory, environmental studies, international regional studies, political theory and literature - and so will be of interest to a number of the School's students and staff.
All the journals can be accessed in the normal way via the ejournal search.

Two new ejournals

We now have online access to the following two journals:

• Critical Inquiry 2002 - present
• Nordic Journal of Human Rights 2014 - present

Both can be accessed in the usual way, from the library web site's home page.

Journals moving from Lexis Library (but don't worry, we will still have online access)

From 22nd December, the following journals will no longer be available via Lexis Library:

• European Competition Journal

• Journal of Corporate Law Studies

• Journal of Media Law

• Journal of Private International Law 

• Judicial Review

• Law and Financial Markets Review

• Legal Ethics

This is because ownership of these journals has recently transferred from Bloomsbury Publishing (with whom Lexis had an agreement to host the journals) to Taylor & Francis (with whom they don't have such an agreement).

The good news is that with the exception of Law and Financial Markets Review where we will lose access to issues from 2007 & 2008, we will continue to have online access to these journals via Hein Online & Academic Search Complete. Birkbeck users can click on the titles above to gain access.

New journal - Critical Studies on Terrorism

Staff and students now have online access to the journal Critical Studies on Terrorism. Coverage is from 2008 (Vol.1 Issue 1) onwards, with 2015 (Vol. 8 Issue 2) the most recent issue available.
Access is via the ejournal search located on the front page of the library web site.

New ejournals - Journal of Criminal Psychology and Safer Communities

As from today, staff and students can access two new journal titles online - the Journal of Criminal Psychology and Safer Communities. The journals can be found by either searching the library catalogue or using the ejournal search on the front page of the library web site.
