E-Resources at Temple

Occasionally we get comments from patrons expressing their opinion that we don't have enough e-resources and how they are forced to use other university libraries (such as Penn) to find what they need. It is important to keep in mind a few things: Penn is a substantially larger university than Temple in regards to its library budget, having spent approximately twice as much as us on library materials in the 2003/04 fiscal year. The Temple Libraries do have access to over 27,000 electronic journals in all subject areas across numerous databases and publishers.

Because of the variety of providers we encourage you to use our Journal Finder to help locate journals in our electronic and print collections. If you need an article from a journal that we do not have in our collections, we have an excellent (and speedy) Document Delivery unit that can get you almost anything, providing you include a complete citation. Here is an online form for requesting journal articles.

We also always encourage you to contact your Subject Specialist with any questions or concerns.
