Below is the new database which could be accessed via library website.
1. PEP-Web Archive
PEP-Web contains the premier journals and classic books in psychoanalysis. The PEP-Web Archive is updated annually in January with new books and journal titles, and current journal issues are added as they are published.
Embargoed Content: Due to contracts with publishers, there is a three to five year embargo on most current content. For the embargoed years, only abstracts and article summaries may be read on PEP-Web. However, the full text of all years is still completely searchable, making it easy to find current and relevant articles. To see the list of journal embargo dates go here.
The library has other databases available for HKSYU users, further information can be found here.
