Hi, Even better: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory. You can link to that from SerialsSolutions generated A-Z lists. That's used by our students to find out whether a title is peer-reviewed. Information about indexing is also included. ...Linda Linda Wobbe/ Head, Collection Management/ Saint Mary's College Library/ PO Box 4290/ 1928 Saint Mary's Road/ Moraga, CA 94575-4290/ ph(925)631-4232; fx(925)376-6097 On 2/8/12 12:47 PM, Hwang, Amy L wrote: > > Hi Joelle and list, > > /Magazines for Libraries/ (Cheryl LaGuardia) provides indexing > information, but only for "the best publications for all serials > collections since 1969," so it may not include all of the titles you > need. > > There's a free /Magazines for Libraries Update/ service, which you can > find out more about here: > http://reviews.libraryjournal.com/2011/11/blogs/eviews/the-new-free-magazines-for-libraries-update/ > I don't see the indexing in these free updates, but you may get more > info. if you have a subscription to Ulrichsweb. > > This is in conjunction with Serials Solutions: > http://www.serialssolutions.com/assets/resources/datasheet-magazines-for-libraries-updatedlink.pdf > > I hope that's helpful, > > Amy > > > Amy L.
