Key Points

• If possible to link to the "front page" of a journal, direct links are being added to both the E-Journal Locator (OPTION 1) and the UF Libraries' Catalog records (OPTION 2) for these journals. In some cases these catalog links may go to a page from which you must select or search for the journal title within the publisher's service.

• The beginning date of electronic availability of a journal varies by publisher and title. Access to many older volumes of journals is not available electronically -- and may never be -- although some publishers are converting older volumes.

• When connecting to an E-Journal publisher's site, keep in mind that UF may not have subscribed to all journals available from a publisher, so your access may be limited. You may be able to see abstracts or take advantage of other services from that publisher; you may just be unable to view the full text. NOTE: You can use the E-Journal Locator (OPTION 1) as a fairly reliable source about whether full-text of a title found on these publisher sites should be available.

• Most allow searching for a journal name and listing the table of contents of each issue.

• Many also allow searching for articles by keyword, subject, etc. located in any of their publications at one time.

• If you find that articles are not in the UF Libraries' collections (electronic or paper), these articles may be requested via the Interlibrary Loan service (by current UF students, staff, and faculty).

• Many may include special services to notify you when a new issue has become available, etc.
