and most entries for journals held in electronic format contain
a hyperlink to the source; searches in the web-based catalog enable
one to follow these links directly. A complete list of electronic
journals is on the Tisch homepage under Electronic
Journals.
Many humanities/social sciences journals held in digital format

Although these databases include search engines for the journals
