Electronic Articles

Newcastle University Library is a member of the HERON scheme. HERON offers a national service to the UK Higher Education community for copyright clearance, digitisation and delivery of book extracts and journal articles.

Some essential journal articles and book chapters are made available as a paper copy (available in the Student Texts Collection in the relevant library (Robinson and Walton)) and electronically via the ISS Computer Clusters for students. (See ISS web page for locations and opening times)

Requested articles which are received from HERON are available electronically to students of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne who are registered with the University Computing Service.

How to access electronic articles

  • Register with the University Computing Service (password given for the Clusters)
  • Search for an author or title through Library Search
  • Click on Full record

If the Library has an article or book chapter in electronic format Library Search will display an Electronic Resources field e.g

External http://rattler.ncl.ac.uk/e-reserve/2006/speech/spe233-whitworth-saffran-quantitative.pdf. You will be required to logon to the University Network to access this file.

  • From the catalogue record double click on the hyperlink to open up an Adobe Acrobat file
  • Full text will appear

If you are an Academic member of staff and would like to request an item for digitisation please contact your Liaison Librarian to discuss this service.
