CSU does not have access to the full-text of the archive, so it is available here as an index only.

CSU staff and students would need to locate, or request, the full-text of articles in microfilm copies of the paper held at Bathurst, Thurgoona, and Wagga Campus Libraries.

The collection works like a database and offers a range of browse, search, and saved search options.

A standard search will return results that are both citation-only and full-text. SFX links are NOT available in this database, but users can limit their searches to (predominantly) full-text results by ticking the “My subscriptions only” box.

The platform allows for searching within individual journal titles or across the whole database, and for browsing journals by title, or articles by discipline. The My Tools feature allows for customising the product, including creating alerts, saving citations and searches, and setting up “My Favourite Journals”.

All SAGE journal content is peer-reviewed with 46% of journals ranked in the Thomson Scientific 2005 Journal Citation Reports®.

Coverage varies according to each journal, but extends as far back as 1879.
