June 2, 200916 yr Yes... usually they are accessible by students enrolled in universities: JSTOR being the most recognizable and comprehensive database of academic journals and articles.
June 2, 200916 yr So.. say you just graduated from university. NOW where do you look for this stuff? At a real library.... y'know...with books and magazines. ;) Many museums or public libraries also have access to things like JSTOR... and, likely, as an alumnus you can probably get a public access card for the university library which should allow you to use their resources. OR...pay for a subscription to something like JSTOR...or subscribe to pertinant journals yourself.

Where I live, the libraries are CRAPZ seriously.. My best option would be to try to get access to the school's library again if I can, but then again, I'm moving soon so that might not really work out for me. I didn't know that you could get a personal subscription to JSTOR. That might be worth looking in to. I AM starting a job soon working at a school that may or may not subscribe to anything like this.. so I'll wait and see if that is there in any case.

To be honest, I don't know for sure that you can with JSTOR...but if not, there's got to be a similar-type database of academic publications that is open to public subscription... :whistling:
