CLIO is Columbia’s library catalog. A journal title search will tell you which journals we receive, print or electronic versions.

JSTOR is a multi-disciplinary full text journal repository, with an emphasis on historical back issues of journals. The archive can be searched or browsed.

ProQuest Digital Dissertations has the downloadable full text of dissertations completed in the US back to 1997, and an index of completed dissertations back to the 19th century.

ProQuest Historical Newspapers has the searchable full text of a number of US newspapers, back to the 19th century. Results are shown in PDF format.

Readers Guide Full Text and Readers Guide Retrospective are indexes to articles that have appeared in general interest magazines and journals, and which may not be covered by other databases.

I have some great news for those looking to use the online archives of the New York Review of Books (which, as you may know, is not included in any of the databases to which Columbia Libraries subscribes): The Libraries now have an online subscription to the site itself, which includes full access to the archives, back to 1963!

To access, just bookmark this link in your web browser:
http://www.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/cul/resolve?clio5577883 (access restricted to current Columbia affiliates).

Click on the “Archives” link at the top to access older contents, or browse the current issue from the main screen.
