FIND FULL TEXT ARTICLES

Looking for a specific journal?  We probably have it in digital format.  Best method is to use the Online Journalsl list.

Pay attention to the date coverage information –

  • some are only for a certain period of time, 
  • some journals are NOTavailable (or EMBARGOED) for the first 6 to 12 months.

Alternately use the Library catalog to search for journals (both print and ejournals) owned by the Purdue  Libraries

  • Print journals are located at different LIBRARIES on campuse according to their subject area.  
  • Many older issues are located in the Hicks Repository.  
  • Look for the name of the LIBRARY or HICKS before the call number under the "Find Print" button.  

If the Library doesn't own the journal article,  request it via Interlibrary Loan.
