Access to electronic journals is available through several means. The Illinois State Library subscribes to nearly thirty electronic research databases (e.g., Academic Search Premier, Business Full Text, Wilson Select Plus) that offer full-text journal articles online.
All of the State Library's subscribed electronic resources are accessible via the Illinois State Library Gateway to Electronic Resources.
You may also use the E-Journal Finder to identify full-text journal and magazine titles that are available
online through the library's numerous subscribed research databases. Additionally, multi-journal collections from publishers, research database vendors, etc. to which the Illinois State Library subscribes are listed below. Keep in mind that full-text access and date coverage
varies by individual journal title, as well as from one database to another. Therefore, you may find it necessary to search multiple research databases and E-journal collections.
Note: Remote access to the State Library's subscribed electronic resources is restricted to current Illinois State Government Employees with a valid Illinois State Library card, and requires authentication by entering a 14-digit
library ID number (located on the back of the library card) and a last name. Due to the licensing restrictions of some vendors, there are several research databases that are not available to users from outside the library.
