    • Electronic Journals

    We receive approximately 400 journal titles in hardcopy (paper) format in the Mathematical Sciences Library. (Some of the older issues are housed in the King Storage.) Although primarily of the English language, there are many original works in Russian, German, French, and other languages. Bound journals will be loaned for one week to graduate students and faculty. Unbound journals will be loaned for three days to faculty only.

    A number of journals are available electronically via the E-Journals Database, a journal title-by-title database. The primary purpose of the database is to give you access to specific, known journal titles you are seeking. Searches of the tables of content are often available at the aggregator (providers of full-text journals) sites, and bibliographic searching is available at some aggregator sites. The Fulltext Online Journals Database is accessible from anywhere, but the fulltext of most of the journals listed in the database is accessible either via campus computers or off-campus for UK faculty, students and staff who follow these proxy server access instructions.
