New York Public Library offers free access to online academic journals

Feb 20, 2007 08:26

Kes: Probably the thing I miss most about no longer being a student is access to all the online journals--I wonder if I could become an honorary citizen of New York City...(though I have to admit I find the fact that my screen reader pronounces nypl.org "nipple.org" both startling and wonderfully metaphorical).

The New York Public Library Now Provides Comprehensive Electronic Access to the Latest Scientific, Technical, and Medical Research from John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The New York Public Library's Science, Industry and Business Library is First Major Public Library to License Wiley's Peer-Reviewed Journals

The New York Public Library's Science, Industry and Business Library (SIBL) and global publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc. have joined in a groundbreaking new venture that provides Library users broad, public online access to over 300 peer-reviewed journals that until now have been available principally through academic or corporate collections.

For the first time at each of the Library’s four research libraries - SIBL, Humanities and Social Science Library, Library for the Performing Arts, and
the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture - users will be able to electronically access the full-text of journal articles online via Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com), Wiley’s online publishing platform, as soon as they are published. Journals featured in this program span the sciences with titles such as Advanced Engineering Materials, American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Cancer, Flavor and Fragrance, Journal of Field Robotics, and International Journal of Imaging Systems & Technology.
