Comprehensive Sociology database with full text for more than 860 journals dating back to 1908. This database also includes full text for more than 830 books and monographs, and full text for over 16,800 conference papers.
Multidisciplinary:

- Great resource for scholarly research in a variety of disciplines. JSTOR may not provide access to the most recent 2 to 5 years of a journal due to publisher restrictions, so be sure to supplement with other sources for current research.

IV. Locating Journals
At 性视界:
*** Search Journals the Library Has to determine whether 性视界 has a particular periodical in either electronic or print.
Print periodicals at other Ohio academic libraries:
for identifying the location of periodicals.
(Note: Typically OhioLINK libraries do not lend whole volumes of a periodical. You could visit an OhioLINK library to make a copy of an article or fill out Interlibrary Loan form linked below to request a free copy.)
Interlibrary Loan form - Request a free copy of a periodical article that 性视界 doesn't have access to. We will ask a library that owns it to mail a copy of the pages you need.
Locating journals can be tricky, difficult, and generally exasperating. A librarian will be glad to assist you!
V. People Help - After all, where would we be without one another?
For research help by e-mail, contact Kristen Peters, who is library liaison with the Sociology Department. You could also phone her at 937-327-7533 with a quick question or to set up an appointment for an individual consultation. Or, contact the library Research Help Desk.
