The Waldmann Library has over 100 subscriptions to dental
journals that are available over the Internet to our students, faculty
and staff. The Ehrman Medical Library has over 4000 biomedical journals
available online as well. These electronic journals, or e-journals for
short, will only allow computers on the NYU network to access and download
their content. Please see the Access section below
to troubleshoot access problems.
Users can connect to our e-journals several ways:
MEDCat
- From our shared catalog with Ehrman Medical Library you can search any
Dental or Medical journal by "journal
title" and "subject".
If an electronic version of a journal exists you will see a "Connect
to the electronic version" link in the journal's record display.
E-Journals
by Title - From this page on our website you can browse all of our
e-journals listed alphabetically by title.
E-Jounals
by Subject - From this page on our website you can browse all of our
e-journals grouped into helpful categories.
