Anglophone Caribbean Literature at Senate House Library: Journals and Magazines

Overview of Journals and Magazines

A range of journal titles with a focus on Caribbean literature are held at Senate House Library, both in print and online.

Titles are listed on the library's catalogue. An Advanced Search allows you to search the journal title. Change the 'Format' drop-down menu to either 'E-Journal' (to check our online holdings) or 'Print Journal'

Print Journals are held in library storage, which is called the Stack. Print Journals are reference items so must be read onsite, and cannot be borrowed. To read the print journals, request the issue(s) you need via the library catalogue. Allow time for them to arrive, noting whether the title is held in the onsite or offsite Stack - details of the process and request times can be read here 

Online Journals can be accessed directly on the library catalogue. If you are a Senate House Library member you can access these titles off campus by logging-in with your Senate House Library membership number and your name
