Access to Research


Discover a world of published academic research at your local library!

Access to Research gives free, walk-in access to over 15 million academic articles across our libraries in Torfaen. 

Students and independent researchers can now access many of the world’s best academic papers from leading publishers who have made their journal content available for free. You can even start by viewing which articles and journals are available from home, then visit a Torfaen library where you can view the full text on one of our public computers.


Subjects currently include art, architecture, business, engineering, history, languages, politics, philosophy, mathematics and the sciences.  There are currently more than 11,000 journals included in the service and more content will become freely available as more publishers continue to join the initiative.

Access to Research is just one of a growing number of online resources now available for free to all members who visit our libraries. These include:


Find My Past / Ancestry (Library Edition) - Discover your family history and build a family tree with two of the world’s premier family history websites. Search birth records, census data, obituaries and more. You can also find out what your ancestors were doing on the eve of WW2 by searching the 1939 Register, available only on Find my Past.


Which? Online - Buying guides and reviews from the popular consumer magazine online. Just ask a member of staff to log you in.


Theory Test Pro - Theory Test Pro is a highly realistic online simulation of the UK's driving theory tests for all vehicle categories. It contains all the official test questions licensed from the DSA, the people who set the tests.

Why not pop in soon and try one out for yourself?
