The following databases cover most aspects of food reformation and are a good starting point for your research. See also the specific resources listed under each tab in this guide.
Search Summon using the box below to find online journal articles, book chapters, standards and other publications covered by the Library's subscriptions. You should be able to access everything you find on Summon.
The Enterprise catalogue is a good starting point for finding books on a topic. Keep your search quite general, as you are searching just the titles of books.
Library resources use the same login system as Blackboard and Office365, so you will often be taken seamlessly into our resources. If not, usually all you will need to do is enter your University username and password when prompted. Make sure you enter your username with the email suffix (e.g. ab123456@student.reading.ac.uk).
If this is the first time you have logged in via this method when off-campus you will be asked to complete a Multi-Factor Authentication. For more information see:
If you access our resources via a search engine, your login may not be picked up automatically. Look for an 'institutional' or 'shibboleth' login option and select 'University of Reading' from the drop-down list that will appear. You will then be asked to enter your University username and password.
