Finding E-Journals

To see if a journal may be available in FULL-TEXT(Note: Due to complexities of online journals, don't depend on only one source to find an article):

1. library catalog Library Catalog If Off-campus authenticate on home page. - look for "Internet Link(s):" or  Get it on the web.

2. Tulane E-Journals List If Off-campus authenticate on home page. - Under Renovation: If you have problems, check Library Catalog or Ask a Librarian


If steps 1-2 do not find a title, the chances of it being FREE online are drastically reduced. However, every so often a freebie turns up - try your luck using these sites:
3.  Google - enter full journal title in quotes (i.e."Irish Medical Journal")
4.  HighWire Press
5.  Free Medical Journals.com
6.  Directory of Open Access Journals*
7.  PubMed Central

Can also search these publisher's sites by subject or author:

*Copyright law prohibits printing multiple copies.
