Looking for the full-text image of an article from a 1929 issue of the American Economic Review? How many times has the article you wrote for the Journal of Biological Chemistry been cited? Planning to survey California immigration case law?

The library provides access to a variety of electronic resources, including abstracting and indexing services and full-text electronic journals. Many of these resources are available from your home or office 24 hours a day.

With so many new resources out there, it is easy to feel out of the information loop. This workshop provides an overview of available resources, with short demonstrations of representative tools in various disciplines and in various formats (including JSTOR, Web of Science and Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe).
