Galvin Library is proud to announce the addition of over 450 new online journals from SAGE Publications to the library’s collection. Full-text access to these peer-reviewed titles is available from 1999-present.

The journals cover a wide spectrum of subjects, including:

• Business
• Humanities
• Management
• Medicine
• Psychology
• Public Administration
• Social Sciences

Search the library’s Journal A-Z List to find a specific journal, or browse a list of available titles by going directly to SAGE Journals Online.

You can also use the SAGE site to customize your own automated search alerts and get journal table-of-contents delivered via email or RSS feeds.

And of course, access to these journals is fully integrated into Galvin Library’s GetArticle service — just look for the icon in any research database that indexes SAGE journals.

In partnership with the College of Science and Letters and the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science departments, Galvin Library now offers access to the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Locus journal archive. This resource contains the full-text of SIAM journals from 1952 to 1996 (coverage varies for each publication). The archive features 17 journals, including SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, SIAM Journal on Computing, and other important titles, any and all of which are fully searchable by keyword, author, title, abstract, or citation. After 1996, the journals are available in SIAM Journals Online, which the library also provides access to. Go straight to Locus to start browsing, or use the Journal A-Z List to find a particular title.

We’re pleased to now offer links to IIT library services from within Google Scholar, the popular academic search engine. When doing a search in Google Scholar, users on the IIT main campus will automatically see links like the ones below in the search results. Off-campus users can also get the links by setting up IIT Library Links in the Scholar Preferences section of Google Scholar. (Click here for instructions on setting up Library Links).

If full-text access is available to a journal article in your search results through IIT, you’ll see the GetArticle@IIT link. Follow this link to the SFX menu, which will show you options for getting the full text of the article.

If online full-text is not available, use the More options @ IIT link to see if the journal is held in print at the library, to connect to Document Delivery services and get the article via interlibrary loan, or to see if an abstract or table of contents is available electronically.

At the moment, IIT Library Links are available for journal articles only, not for books. To check if IIT has a book you’ve found in Google Scholar, use the IIT Library Catalog.

Disclaimer: Users should note that Google Scholar is still in “beta,” or test mode, and that not all academic publishers allow Google full access to their content. Therefore Galvin Library cannot completely guarantee the accuracy and functionality of Google Scholar Library Links, nor is it our opinion that a search in Google Scholar is a viable replacement for a search using library-provided bibliographic databases and indexes, many of which also do not allow Google Scholar to access their content. If you experience problems getting the full text of an article via the GetArticle@IIT link, use the Journal A-Z List or Article Finder on our web site to see if full-text access is available.
