CLIO (Columbia

for getting topic overviews, background information, bibliographies, and
call number ranges.
Barnard and Columbia Subject Guides

Many scholarly journals are available on the Web.
The journal often is included in a searchable collection of journals supplied as a
package by the publisher or by another vendor. These collections are included on the list of
Databases.
If you have a particular journal that you want to
access electronically, enter the title in
CLIO. In the
Quick Limits box below the Search For field, select
Electronic Journals/Magazines/Serials, then click search. If we have an online subscription or
database access, one or more links will be provided in the record.
