Journals
Many of these journal websites charge for the full text of their
articles, but most will allow you to search them and read abstracts. Public libraries should be able to get copies
of articles for you, but you are likely to have to pay a fee. Many university libraries are very happy
for you to use their facilities, including photocopiers which tend to cost about 5p per sheet, but you can read for free. It may be worth
ring to check the situation and opening times, which are often very much longer during term times.
