Collections of ejournals

SOAS Library provides access to two general collections of electronic journals, JSTOR and EBSCOhost and several legal databases where access to the full text of many different journals is provided through one web-site.

You will be able to either search the databases for particular articles or articles on a certain subject or you will be able to browse by journal title.

Sometimes when electronic journals are listed by title on the Library catalogue or web pages there will be no direct link to the online journal and you will have to search or browse one of the collections below to find it.
