Journals in Finance
The library subscribes to many accounting journals in print, and even more
in electronic format. To see what journals the library has access to, go to
the PAC and enter the subject "Finance
- Periodicals." Many of the titles you find will have links to the online
format.
In order to determine if the library has access to a specific finance journal,
go to the PAC and enter the name of the
journal as a periodical title. If we have a print subcription to the journal,
or if we have electronic access through an online subscription or one of our
online journal vendors, this search will tell you and provide links to further
information or the journal itself. Here is a representative list of finance
journals.

Finding Articles about Finance
The easiest way to find recent articles on finance is to use the ABI/Inform
database. It provides access to and often the full text of articles in the professional
finance literature. If ABI/Inform does not contain the full text of an article
you can always look in the PAC to see if we have access through a print subscription,
or electronically through some other database.
