The Library provides access to over 7,000 journals in electronic format. The Journal A-Z title list is an alphabetical list of journal titles which includes electronic journals, print journals, and databases held by the ISS. The list also contains all the journals which are provided via so-called publisher packages, such as AnthroSource, Blackwell Synergy, JSTOR, Project MUSE, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Wiley Interscience. The A-Z provides both freely available electronic journals and e-journals with restricted access.
Note: restricted journals require a personal EZnet username and password for access. Please use the username and password that the VNP provided you to access the electronic journals.
