Locating Serials
Here are some useful union catalogues of serials holdings:
SUNCAT
A searchable full list of the 73 libraries contributing to SUNCAT
ABTAPL - Theological and Philosphical Libraries
ARLIS - art, architecture and design periodicals
Directory of Open Access Journals
Set up following the First Nordic Conference on Scholarly Communication in Lund/Copenhagen (http://www.lub.lu.se/ncsc2002), this comprehensive directory is described as 'a one stop shop'.
The aim of the Directory of Open Access Journals is to increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals.
