    Find e-Journals The e-Journal Title List provides access to electronic versions of journals as well as location information on the print versions.
    • Some titles are standalone subscriptions and some are part of a larger full-text journal service.

    • If your journal isn't listed here, search the Cornell Library Catalog by Journal Title to determine if Cornell has another means of electronic access to the journal.

    Didn't find what you need? There are other journal databases that have full-text articles, such as JSTOR, which contains older articles than are found in many of the other databases. As well, there are journal services such as Elsevier's Science Direct and Kluwer's Kluwer Online which provide access to the journals of one publisher. If you are unable to locate a particular title or type of journal using the resources above, stop into the library to speak with a reference staff person during reference hours, or use our Ask A Librarian form.
