Electronic Journals—A Serial Solution

The National Library of Australia subscribes to many electronic journals that are available for Document Delivery. As part of the move to aggregator neutral records for electronic resource the library has added Serial Solutions records on our Voyager catalogue. Where previously there were multiple bibliographic records for journals, one for each database, these have now been condensed and there is only one record showing all the links to electronic databases. These new records also record the date ranges covered in electronic format.

Some examples are:

  • African American review [electronic resource] ISSN: 1062–4783
  • Hypatia [electronic resource] ISSN: 1527–2001
  • International journal on world peace [electronic resource] ISSN: 0742–3640

There are a number of electronic databases on the National Library’s catalogue from which document delivery is allowed. The following list of databases allow document delivery, however for some journals there may be embargoes or the full text is not yet available.

  • Academic Search Premier
  • Business Source Premier
  • MasterFile Premier
  • Biological & Agricultural Index Plus
  • Legal Periodicals Full Text
  • Library Literature & Information Science Full Text
  • Readers’ Guide Full Text Mega Edition
  • Health Source: Consumer Edition
  • Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition
  • Source OECD

The National Library holdings for many of these databases are on Kinetica. In some cases we have both the electronic and the paper versions. Do send your requests, and should the item be embargoed and we can’t supply it, we will respond quickly.
