Multi-Database Search

Other Important Databases

Please keep in mind that JSTOR, a wonderful storage for articles, does not include the most recent 3-6 years of a journal's articles. Also, it has a poor search and retrieval engine, and almost anything published after 1968 in JSTOR will be found much more easily by searching through Humanities Fulltext . Click the purple FUlltext button in the results and you will be linked to anything that happens to be full text in JSTOR, AS WELL AS anything that's full text in any of our other 50+ full text databases AND anything that can be rapidly ordered through ILL.
