Journals
The university library provides access to a large number of electronic journals.
Access to the journals
When you are at Luleå University of Technology, you can access all content in the e-journals automatically, but if you are elsewhere, you must access the journal via the library's web and log in with your LTU user. There are also a number of printed journals to read and copy at the library.
In the journal list you will find all our journals. There is also an app for academic journals that makes it easier for you to browse your favorite journal.
Don't have an LTU user?
If you do not have an LTU user, you can only access the e-journals on site at the library, on your own computer or on one of the library's computers, after generating a wifi code that you can get on a special i-pad at the library.
Search journals in Publication Finder
In the list of journals you can find all the journals available through the university. Search for a journal in the search box or browse by topic. Keep in mind that if you want to search articles systematically, you do that through our databases. With an app for scholarly journals you can read your favourite journals on iPhone, iPad, Android or via the web.
