Our Response to the Request for Article Level Searching

The Ejournals page provides a searchable "short cut" to titles of full text ejournals instead of having to use the entire Library catalogue, TRELLIS.

It is not possible to search from this page for specific articles because the underlying database that makes this site work does not contain the data about every article in every issue in every year of every journal. Journal indexes are developed to do just that. The Journal indexes page links to many indexes on specific topics. Many journal indexes have direct links to full text journals or to TRELLIS to help you quickly locate the full journal article. For more information about journal indexes, contact the TUG Journal Indexes Coordinating Group.

It is possible to conduct a selective search of the academic literature by searching a publishers site for full text ejournals produced by that publisher. The following sites have search engines and all journals on site are accessible:

Sciences, engineering, health topics, economics

For Waterloo:
1300 Elsevier journals http://prod.library.utoronto.ca:951/journals/sci_full_elsevier.html

For TUG:
200 Academic Press journals http://www.idealibrary.com/
400 Springer journals http://link.springer-ny.com/search.htm

NOTE: This is a quick method of finding full text articles on your desktop, but is not recommended as your sole method of searching for articles on a topic. Journal indexes should still be your primary search method.
