1. JSTOR,
the Journal Storage Project, subscription database.
JSTOR, the electronic journal archive project of the Mellon Foundation,
is an especially useful source of scholarly articles on Globalization. Its
highly selective nature yields results from journals that matter.
JSTOR can be accessed on the Library Home Page under Digital Collections,
then Journals, then Project. Choose any JSTOR journal, and then click
on " search or browse other journals in JSTOR". JSTOR holds
only a few hundred journal titles, but its great strength is in both the
essential nature of the journals included and in its unique ability to provide
those journals in electronic full text from the beginning of publication,
sometimes for a hundred years or more, to a "rolling wall" of the last two
to three years.
Journal subject groups in JSTOR include: Business, Ecology, Economics,
Education, Finance, Geography, History, Political Science, Population Studies,
and Sociology. Journals in ethnic and area studies include African
American Studies, African Studies, Asian Studies, Latin American Studies,
Middle East Studies, and Slavic Studies.

Princeton subscribes to three large aggregate commercial databases holding

the Online Catalog, but the process is not complete. EBSCO

3. Newspapers: Aggregate
Sources, subscription databases.
Lexis
Academic, Factiva,
ProQuest
Direct, and ProQuest Historic Newspapers are databases each of which
provide access to the full text of hundreds of newspapers, in additioin to
journals. Although Princeton's cataloging services are moving as quickly
as possible to add all the individual titles in these services to the Main Catalog, that process will take
some time, and the contents of these aggregate sources change constantly.
Therefore, it is useful to check these services when the full text of a newspaper
or journal is wanted.
Some publications are found in several of these sources, such as
the Economist of London, while coverage of others is unique to particular
databases. For instance, Princeton holds microfilm for the entire run
of the following three newspapers. However, electronic access to the
New York Times, to the Wall Street Journal, and to the historic Washington
Post is available only in the following ways. The electronic coverage
is NOT shown in the Online Catalog; only reference to the microfilm is found
there.
- New York Times via Lexis
includes 1980 - today, with abstracts for 1970-1979, in text format. To
search the NYTimes in Lexis, ask for General News in first dialog box, Major
Papers in second, search terms in next set of boxes, date choices in next
set, and finally type in New York Times in the last box.
- New
York Times via Proquest Historic Newspapers covers 1851-1986, full text
is searchable, abstracts are taken from words of article, output is .pdf image
of article as it appeared in the paper.
- Wall Stret Journal through Factiva
provides full text from 1984 - today, in text format.
- Wall
Street Journal via Proquest Historic Newspapers includes 1889-1985,
full text is searchable, abstracts are taken from words of article, output
is .pdf image of article as it appeared in the paper.
- Washington Post via Lexis
included 1977 - today, in text format.
- Washington
Post via Proquest Historic Newspapers covers 1877-1987, and offers full
page
and article images with searchable full text back to the first issue.
When a picture or chart is needed from the "text only" sources above, microfilm
copies of the entire New York Tiomes and Wall Street Journal, as they were
printed, are available in the Microforms Library on C Level of Firestone
Library. Until the film is received, usually six weeks or so from date
of publication, paper copies are kept in the Social Science Reference Center
and at several other campus locations.
