INGENTA
This site contains current issues for over 50 Philosophy journals in downloadable and printable form. Ingenta offers a search option for title, author and abstract but not full text. Papers are stored as Acrobat PDF's based on the original printer's files (postscript) so these are much smaller than the JSTOR files (see below).
You can download free of charge any article in a journal subscribed to by UCL, for other journals, Ingenta will ask you to pay a fee. Occasionally the electronic subscription runs out and you will be asked to pay for something which you should have free access to. If this happens, check with the library desk and then try again a few hours later or the next day. (**see also below)

JSTOR
This site contains downloadable and printable versions of papers published in the following journals, from their very first issue until a few years ago:
Ethics
Journal of Philosophy
Journal of Symbolic Logic
Mind
Nous
Philosophical Perspectives
Philosophical Quarterly
Philosophical Review
Philosophy & Phenomenological Research
Philosophy & Public Affairs
JSTOR has a 'moving wall' giving you access to journals up to 5 years ago in some cases and 7 years ago in others. JSTOR also has a very fast searchable index of titles, authors and complete text of all articles in the store. Journal pages are stored as compressed images of the original page which have been scanned in high quality. You have two options to download - low or high quality. Low quality is difficult to read on screen, but acceptable on a printout. High quality is similar to photocopy standard and is readable on screen. High quality results in a much larger file size - at least 4 Mb for an average length of article, as opposed to 800K for a low quality version of the same.
These articles can be printed out, presently free of charge, in the College computer clusters.
Web address: www.uk.jstor.org
** Both JSTOR and INGENTA can be accessed offsite by using an ATHENS password. You can obtain a generic Athens userid and password from the UCL Library desk and then use a Cluster room PC to generate your own private userid and password to gain access from home. |

Feed Readers
If there are specific webpages you are interested in keeping up-to-date with then use a feed reader, such as Google reader (web-based) or feedreader (desktop), if the page has an RSS feed or similar. If the page does not have a feed then you can use a page monitoring service such as watch that page. This will send you an email each time the pages you specify are updated. This is a useful way of keeping track of timetable changes.

Search Indexes
In order to find articles there are three search indexes are useful. Google scholar is a good first bet. Philosophers' index is more comprehensive but doesn't cover philosophers' webpages. Web of knowledge is good for finding links between literatures as you can find which papers cite a given paper and which papers are cited by a given paper. |
