The Electronic Journal List includes journals, conference proceedings, statistical compilations, newspapers, company reports, and country profiles which form part of the many databases at Rutgers. While we strive to make all titles available in the alphabetical list, the Library Catalog should still be searched to see if other print or electronic versions are available. E-journals can also be searched and accessed electronically in the Library Catalog, by limiting your keyword, title, periodical title, or subject searches to the library RU-ONLINE.

If you have the citation information for an article, try Citation Linker to look up Full Text options for the article.

If the article you are searching for is not available in full-text electronically, you can use Interlibrary Loan and Article Delivery Services to request journal articles from any Rutgers University library.
Please watch this video on how to request an article.
You may also use this service to request materials not in the Rutgers University Libraries collections.
