ALERT!! Journal cancellations due to budget cuts in 2009/2010 have not yet been indicated in this list. Nor has the electronic access information on pre-1995 ScienceDirect [Elsevier] journal backfiles in High Energy, Nuclear Physics & Astronomy, purchased in 2009, including back years of such journals as Icarus, Nuclear Physics A & B, and Physics Letters B. Search by journal title in the E-Journals (All subjects) index or in the UW-only Catalog for updated information.
