Print journals are found on the second floor of the library in alphabetical order and can be browsed using the PHL (Periodicals Holding List). Electronic Journals can be found in our online journal databases using the PEF (Periodicals in Electronic Format). Here are some selected journal titles (both print and electronic) that may be useful.

• Databases list articles from various publications, not all of which are owned by Sul Ross
• Therefore, databases will not always provide an entire article online, sometimes they will only provide the abstract.
• If you find an article that only has the abstract available, but you would like to view the full text PDF, you can click on the LinkSource link (a green LS hyperlink next to the title of the article) to see if we have the full-text located in any other of our online databases. If we truly do not have the article, then you will be directed to our Inter Library Loan form where you can request the article from there.
• If you access a database off campus you MUST log in using your Sul Ross username and password
