Single Title Subscriptions

There are four avenues for discovering which titles the Library subscribes to that also have electronic counterparts. 

• CUNY+: 

Search the journal title in our online catalog. If there is an e-version of the title the location will be "Brooklyn Web Resource." The URL is located in the catalog record itself (usually found on the first screen of the record). If you are in our Web-based catalog you can just click on it. Remember to check the "Library has:" part of the holdings record. It tells you what years and/or volumes are available online.
 
• EBSCO Online: 

EBSCO is our chief provider of journal subscriptions. They now offer a link between our home page and the many hundreds of individual titles we subscribe to online. Go to the home page and click on Research Resources by title, then on EBSCO Online. You can search by journal title or topic.
 
• BCL Subject Web Pages: 

Our subject bibliographers update their subject pages with links to important journals on a daily basis. Just click on Research Resources by subject to locate the appropriate page.
 
• Current Periodicals Room: 

For those of you who familiar with our collection and tend to go straight to the CPR stacks, we will be placing "book-blocks" in the current periodicals section indicating titles that are currently available online.

Publishers' Packages

Many of you are familiar with with our first publisher's package, Project MUSE, from Johns Hopkins University Press. But did you know about the following full text resources?

• ACM Digital Library Package   (1991 to date): 

The ultimate online resource for those interested in the computing industry. The Association for Computing Machinery's package includes 21 journal titles, conference proceedings and over 250,000 pages of text.

174 journal titles from Academic Press dealing with the life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, economics and much more.

One of the few packages for which we don't subscribe to the paper version. It includes four titles:  Applied Optics, Journal of the Optical Society of America A and B, and Optics Letters. 

Aggregate Packages

These are the huge databases with thousands of titles. For scholarly research the Infotrac  searches can be limited to refereed, association and/or academic press journals.

• Infotrac--Expanded Academic ASAP   (1980 to date): 

From arts and the humanities to social sciences, science and technology, this database meets research needs across all academic disciplines. Access scholarly journals, magazines and newspapers--with full text and images.
 
• Infotrac--General BusinessFile ASAP   (1980 to date): 

Use this database to research business and management topics. Includes directory listings for over 150,000 companies as well as investment analysts' reports on major companies and industries.
 
• Infotrac--Health Reference Center   (Mid-1990's to date):

Has over 340,000 full text articles covering medicine and health science.
 
• Alt-Health Watch   (1993 to date): 

A full text database of 50,000 articles from 160 international periodicals, peer-reviewed journals, academic and professional publications, magazines, consumer and association newsletters, pamphlets, booklets, special reports, original research and book excerpts.
 
• LEXIS-NEXIS Academic Universe   (Dates vary): 

Provides access to a wide range of news (from today's headlines back to the 80's); business; legal (federal and state cases, codes and regulations, Shephard's Citations, law school directories); medical; and reference information. Also includes access to over 170 US government periodicals.
Since these aggregations are not stable products (i.e. journals are added and/or dropped all the time), letting the reader know what's available is a far more difficult proposition than simply adding URLs to pre-existing cataloging records in CUNY+ or putting a book-block in CPR (the number of titles alone would make this prohibitive). In many instances the vendors of these aggregate "packages" can provide us with lists of journal titles which can be uploaded to our home page. We are currently working with those vendors and expect to have a complete (as possible) list available within the next couple of months. For the time being, a list of full text e-journals compiled by Baruch's Newman Library Access Services staff (many of which we have access to as well) is available at CUNY's Office of Library Services home page.
