7. You’ll then be able to see a journal entry if you have access to this title. You need to check whether the holdings cover the year / volume / issue for the article you are looking for. In this example:

  • One entry has an embargo
  • One entry includes the current subscription
  • One entry details the print journal holdings

Clicking the link next to the entry will take you to the website where you can access this title, for the listed holdings. Note that you may have to log in to Athens again on the provider’s website.
