Discovery

What is Discovery?

Discovery is our single search database where you can look for resources from our print and electronic collections all in one place.
Using the various filters, control how targeted and specific you want your results to be. The Full-Text feature allows you to narrow your results to only resources that the Library subscribes to, or leave it off to see abstracts and partial records of other possible sources.
Note: Resources linked from Discovery will often need a Marjon login to be able to access them. 

How does it work?

Discovery works much like any search engine, enter keywords and then use the various filters to narrow your results. There is also an advance search function that lets you get really specific. 

Visit the Library Help Centre on MyMarjon (Marjon login needed) for help making the most of Discovery, including some of the more advanced features and troubleshooting, or book onto a Discovery AIM session (Marjon students only).

E-Books, E-Journals & Databases

E-Books

Marjon Library is committed to a digital first policy, we have thousands of E-Books including a lot of our most high demand titles. The big advantage of E-Books over physical resources is that they are accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and do not count towards your library borrowing allowance.

Our E-Books are provided via several different publisher platforms including: Ebook Central, Browns, EBSCOhost and Taylor & Francis. Each has a slightly different method of logging in but all need you to log in with your institutional credentials. 

All our E-Books are discoverable on our catalogue and Discovery but you will need a Marjon login to access the full texts. 

Note: If you are currently studying at Marjon you can find more info on accessing our E-Book collections at the link below.

E-Journals

Marjon Library is committed to a digital first policy, we have a massive collection of E-Journals some with back issues available going back decades. E-Journals that Marjon subscribes too are accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and do not count towards your library borrowing allowance.

Our E-Journals are provided via several different platforms and databases and as such the way you access each article may vary but all will need you to log in with your institutional credentials. 

All our E-Journals and articles are findable on Discovery, or your can see the full list of titles we subscribe to in the Journal A-Z linked below. 

Note: If you are currently studying at Marjon you can get more info on finding and accessing E-Journals in the Library Help Centre on MyMarjon.
