My Home Page: freely accessible to everybody.

A large number of journal articles in Economics, Economic History, and History are now accessible on-line, by clicking on the relevant underlined URL in the list below. Downloading such articles is faster, much more convienent, and cheaper than photocopying the article from the journal itself, if you can find it in the Robarts Library.

A major source of these on-line journals is JSTOR , which is made accessible to us by the University of Toronto. J-Stor generally has most or all of the back issues, but not current issues, which may be found on the various journals' or their publishers' websites. Thus, note the distinctions given below between past and current issues of journal articles.

To find a journal article, or to find at least the journal concerned, you can also try one or both of these electronic resources, made available by the University of Toronto Libraries:

• E-Journals: to to the second line, Option 2: Quick Search for Articles. Then enter your request in the box, under Option 2. Click on GO.

• Or choose the tab for All e-resources, and follow the instructions.

• Electronic Journals and Preprints.
