Print only Engineering journals are shelved on Floor 2 at Per 620 and Per 660. All titles are 24 hour loan. Issues that are shelved in closed access stores can be requested via Primo.

An abstracting journal is a special type of journal which does not contain full text articles-just the summaries (the abstracts). Many abstracting journals are also available as online databases. We hold the following engineering abstracting journals at the shelfmark Abs 620. All these titles are reference, for use in the library only.
