Content of Print Journals and Magazines
Although many of the journals that we subscribe to have online access through Athens, the hairdressing and beauty journals and magazines tend not to be available online. If you want to look in a print journal or magazine for articles on a particular subject, it can be time-consuming going through all the different issues. One way to help find what you need is to look on the website of the journal or magazine, as sometimes they have articles on line from previous issues. One title worth looking at is Today's Therapist, (on both the Ethics and Accountability and The Spa Concept reading list) as when you click on the back copies link on the left-hand menu you can see a brief description of articles included in issues going back to February 2006 (although not the full-text of the articles). This may cut down on the time spent looking for the info as you will be able to go straight to the print copy in stock that has the article that you are interested in. However, you can click on the articles link on the same menu to get free access to articles on subjects that will be of interest, although you will need to register first.
