Request for online journal access 'Environmental Ethics'

12th February, 2013 ~ 1 comment

Hello,

My name is Bec & I am a PhD student in GPEM at UQ.

I have frequently, during my Honours year and now at the beginning of my PhD, come across articles in the journal Environmental Ethics which sound useful. We have access to the print copies in the library, but it would be great to have online access in addition to that.

Here is the UQ Library record: http://library.uq.edu.au/search~S1/t?SEARCH=environmental+ethics

And this appears to be an online access point for the journal: http://secure.pdcnet.org/pdc/bvdb.nsf/journal?openform&journal=pdc_envir...

Thank you for your consideration, and best wishes,

Bec
