Complete Resource List

To search for magazine, journal, newspaper articles or ebooks, click on one of the collections below.

Resources offering the full text of articles (versus citations only) are marked Full Text. Abstract and Index databases do not contain full text articles. If you access a citation that does not include the full text of the article, check the Osterlin Library Journal List for a list of the journals and magazines the Osterlin Library has in print, microfilm, or Full Text (electronic) format.

If the library does not have an article that you need either electronically or in print, we may be able to obtain a copy of that article from another library through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Please check at the Library's Service Desk for more information.
