Why are they kept in Special Collections rather than on the Balcony with the other current periodicals?

A select group of current magazines and journals are kept in Special Collections to ensure their safety due to cost and/or to protect unique features of the publications such as printed inserts or large format.

Stable URLs

Our full text databases offer stable URLs or persistent links to access specific articles. Look for them in citations in Art Full Text, Academic Search Premier, JSTOR, and Project Muse. For JSTOR and Academic Search Premier the URLs need some tweaking before working off campus. See the Stable URLs handout on our intranet page for assistance.
