Kaye,

I would like to suggest you to search SciELO Brazil - Scientific
Electronic Library Online, which publishes over 30 journal titles in
different areas of knowledge. SciELO publishes journals complete editions,
including full texts of the articles, which are available free of charge
online and, in some cases, also in PDF format. SciELO are updated through
the regular publication of new titles and issues. Today, the collection
offers about 4,200 scientific articles (many of them in English), which
can be searched by author, title and subject.

SciELO - http://www.scielo.br

Please let me know if there is further information needed.

Irati Antonio

> We are trying to replace bound volumes with online subscriptions
> whenever possible.  We are limited to subscribing to services which
> allow IP checking (we cannot handle distributing and monitoring use
> of ID and passwords to over 20,000 students).

>    You may want to search for Author: JSTOR to see some of our titles
> with JSTOR links.
>    Let me know if you have any questions.
