My Subject: Psychology: What's next?

Obtaining good quality information

Once you have graduated from Middlesex University, you will still need to be able to access good quality information for personal, social, and professional reasons. There are a number of ways that you can do this.
Also remember that by taking out membership of a professional organisation it is often possible to obtain partial access to key information sources, as well as professional support and development.

Accessing Middlesex University Resources

You can continue to use some of our resources once you have left the University (see links below). This means that you can keep up-to-date with literature in your subject area.

However because you are no longer a student you will not be able to borrow material from the library or access the content of full-text electronic resources such as ebooks and ejournals.

Most material on our Research Repository will be available to you as this is an open access resource.

Library Search (Hendon) This link opens in a new window Use Library Search to find and access quality academic resources.

Library Subject Guides You can still access our Library Subject Guides even after you have left the University. They are a good way of finding the most relevant and useful resources in your subject area, although you will not be able to access the full-text of any of our electronic books and journals.
