Looking at the electronic journals section of the library and freaking out? Omigod, how do I even know where to start?!
Here’s a handy-but-by-no-means-complete list of relevant journals. You can access these by going to the Lehman library website, clicking on “E-journals” link, then typing in the title. Many journals have more than one way of accessing its archives—click on whichever suits you. You’ll be prompted for your username and password, then will be directed to that journal’s page. You can either read articles online, print them, or download them on to your computer (or, if you’re at the library, thumb drive). Easy-peazy!
If you’re looking more generally, you can also go to JSTOR (click on the “Databases” link on the library web page, then on “JSTOR”, then “Browse by Discipline”) for more options.
In any case, here’s a very brief list of journals to get you started.
