ScienceDirect College Edition

ScienceDirect is a collection of nearly 2,000 electronic journals. The collection is divided into different subject collections. Currently, Gutman Library subscribes ONLY to the Physical Sciences and Engineering collection. The Physical Sciences and Engineering collection contains approximately 850 full-text journals that provides disciplinary coverage for chemistry, chemical engineering, computer science, earth sciences, energy, engineering, materials science, math, and physics and astronomy. Though we only have access to the full text of journals in the Physical Sciences and Engineering collection, it is possible to do a search of the entire ScienceDirect collection in the pursuit of literature on a wide range of social science and health science topics. To proceed once you are in ScienceDirect, click on the "search" tab. You can search all the collections, or change the "display" to only "subscribed" collections - which will limit the retrieval to journals in the Materials Sciences Collection.

Other E-Journal Collections (free access)

AACE Digital Library

Offers peer reviewed and published international journal articles and proceedings papers on the latest research, developments, and applications related to all aspects of educational technology and e-learning. Journals may be browsed by title and issue or searched by keyword. There is also a free table of contents alert service.

BioMed Central

BioMed Central's portfolio of over 100 journals ranges from the highly selective, general interest Journal of Biology, which publishes both online and in print, to a range of specialist online only journals.

DOAJ - Directory of Open Access Journals

Open access journals are free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals. Gutman Library does not subscribe to these journals - and they are not currently listed in our catalog or on our JournalList service. Journals are available in categories such as chemistry, biology, engineering, arts and architecture, business, economics, and environmental sciences. This service was started in 2003 so extensive title selections or many years of issues are not yet available. Click here to connect now.

Free Full-Text Journals in Chemistry

It's not clear from where this list originates (it may be Russia) but it does list a good number of titles that are supposedly permanently available.

HighWire Press

From Stanford University Libraries, this project provides partial fulltext access to several articles across many disciplines. Use the advanced search feature to find free fulltext. According to HighWire's website, "HighWire Press hosts the largest repository of free full-text life science articles in the world, with 1,904,059 articles available without subscription."

PubMed Central

This companion site to PubMed, the web version of Medline, provides access to the National Library of Medicine's free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature. There are currently about 100 titles. You can browse or search. Click here to connect now.
