Looking for Articles from Non-Legal Journals?

By Rebekah

ADVERTISEMENTS

If you are in need of articles from journals that are not included in familiar legal database services, consider these sources:

JSTOR is an archive of scholarly journal articles from numerous disciplines. It includes legal journals, but should be your first stop for articles beyond the legal profession ? such as history, political science, philosophy, anthropology, chemistry, and much more. You can access JSTOR from the Law Library?s ?Limited Access? page or from the ?Electronic Indexes? link on the library?s homepage. Since one of JSTOR?s functions is to act as an archive, there may be a year or two of hang-time for some journals.

EBSCO is another great resource for non-legal journal articles ? from nuclear energy to religion to biotechnology. Access it through the ?Electronic Indexes? link on the library?s homepage, and choose ?E,? then ?EbscoHost Electronic Journals.?

Both these resources offer .pdf documents of original articles and both can be accessed remotely through the proxy server.

Stop by the reference desk if you need assistance with accessing or searching these databases.
