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.

2. Journals:  Commerical Aggregate Sources, subscription databases.
Princeton subscribes to three large aggregate commercial databases holding several thousand journal titles each.  While there is some overlap in titles between these databases, titles may only be held exclusively in one of them. 
We are working on adding individual Journal titles from these packages to the Online Catalog, but the process is not complete.

    3.  Newspapers:  Aggregate Sources,  subscription databases.





    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 of newspapers is NOT always shown in the Online Catalog; check the Databases for a more complete listing.
