FULLTEXT SOURCES ONLINE

“Philosophy begins in wonder. And, at the end, when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains.” Alfred North Whitehead (British mathematician and philosopher, 1861-1947)

Have you ever wondered where to access your favorite journals online? And, more to the point, have you ever wondered which of the online databases offers the full text of journals of most importance to you?

Librarians and other information professionals ponder this question all the time. FSO – Fulltext Sources Online – provides a jump start in answering these questions.

Quoting from the FSO site (http://www.infotoday.com) …

“FULLTEXT SOURCES ONLINE (FSO) (ISSN 1040-8258) is a directory of publications that are accessible online in full text, from 30 major aggregator products. FSO lists 46,210 periodicals, newspapers, newsletters, newswires, and TV or radio transcripts. It covers topics in science, technology, medicine, law, finance, business, industry, the popular press and more. FSO also lists the URLs of publications with Internet archives, noting whether access to them is free or not.
“FSO is published in print twice a year, in January and July. Each printed edition is complete in itself and replaces all previous editions. FSO Online is updated weekly.”
