Where titles are available electronically, the link provided will take you to the journal website. Sometimes this happens immediately, as long as you are logged in to the College website. Items marked with an asterisk (*) require you to have a College OpenAthens account in order to access them online. 

OpenAthens Tips

You can often access these publications directly from PubMed, or anywhere there is a link to the journal. Just look for the OpenAthens Login which is usually in the top right-hand corner with the general site login. Make sure you log into OpenAthens, not the site.  

For Wiley journals, don’t log in via the top right-hand corner, but rather click on the full text tab for your article and look for the OpenAthens login there.

The journals collection is a fantastic place to start your research. Most medical journal collections do not specifically cater to optometry students, so to have this area dedicated to your specific field is just brilliant. This has to be my most-used resource that the college has to offer.
