Journal title highlight of the month

I thought it may be useful to draw to your attention some of the journal titles that you may find of interest and valuable in your research and study.

The journal title I have chosen this month is The Journal of Architecture it is jointly published by the RIBA & Routledge. There are a range of issues which have a range of themes and subjects including individual architects, design theory, architectural culture, sustainability, everyday building and many more. There are also book and exhibition reviews included regularly.

You can access the title via infoLinx, select the tab 'Find e-Journal' and type the title into the search box at the top and use 'Go' to retrieve the list of matching results. Remember that if you are accessing the title off campus select the i button to check whether you will need a username & password to access.

Personally I find this title a great resource especially when researching subjects which have a historical context such as architectural movements which continue to influence contemporary developments.
