LaSU - Reading List System @ Salford
The LaSU (Lists at Salford University) system was launched in February 2010 and provides access to reading list resources.
You can access LaSU directly via http://lasu.salford.ac.uk/ - from here you can browse through lists by faculty / school, or search using your module title or lecturer's name.
LaSU reading lists are also linked through Blackboard, taking you directly from your Blackboard module to the relevant reading list.
However you get to your LaSU list, you will see a list of resources recommended by academic staff for the module. You can link directly through to the library catalogue record or in some cases electronic access for the item, saving you time searching for your reading list materials.
You can get more information on LaSU, including a user guide, from the LaSU page on the ILS website: http://www.ils.salford.ac.uk/library/resources/lasu.php

Finding the full text of journal articles
Salford University has two library systems which you can use to find the full text of journal articles we subscribe to.
e-Journals...
The first place to visit is the e-Library, as most of our journals are now available electronically. Go to the student channel (http://students.salford.ac.uk/) and click the e-Library link. Log in with your university username and password.
From the e-Library homepage select the "Find e-Journal" option. The e-Journal search page appears. Type in the title of the journal you want to access (make sure it is the title of the journal, not the specific article...) You will see the system try to second guess which title you are looking for - either keep typing, or select from the options it provides. Click Go.
A list of journals that match your search appears. Click the title of the journal you want to open; a new window will open up. From here you can access the journal webpage by using the "View the Full Text..." link. Always check that we cover the years you need, and that you have the right password to access articles if you are working from off campus - both these pieces of information appear on this page.
Journal websites will allow you to navigate through to a particular article if you already have a reference (you may need to look for an option like "previous issues" or "archive"). You can also often carry out keyword searches within the journal to find articles published in that journal on a specific topic.
Print journals...
While most journals are now available electronically, some titles are still only held in print. If the e-Library does not locate the journal you want, then it is always important to check the Library Catalogue to make sure we dont have print access to that journal.
Access the library catalogue from the student channel page (http://students.salford.ac.uk/). From the catalogue search page, enter the title of the journal in the Title box; from the options on the right, select 'Journals Catalogue' from the collections drop-down list. Click search.
If the journal is available in the library you will see it appear in the results - all the journals for FHSC subjects should be held in the Allerton library and are shelved alphabetically by title on level 3. To find information on what years we subscribe to, click the show library holdings link at the bottom of the journal record.
If Salford dont have the journal...
If your journal, or the section of the journal you need, does not appear through e-Library or the Library Catalogue then we do not subscribe to it. Click the links below to visit the library website and learn more about other options available to you.

If you can't find the article you may need to search in one of the databases using your keywords to find other journal articles on that topic that we do subscribe to.
