Journals and Newspapers

In this context "South Asia" journals and newspapers refers to those published in South Asia or those published elsewhere whose content is primarily focused on South Asia. Many journals are still available in print only; increasingly there are many also available or even exclusively available online.

Print journals at Emory

Locations of print editions at Emory:

  • Print journals held by Pitts Theological Library are organized by title.
  • Recent issues of journals held by Woodruff (GENERAL) are in the Matheson Reading Room organized by title.
  • Back issues in Woodruff are usually bound and placed in the stacks by call number; some are microfilmed and stored on the first floor by Microfilm number.
  • Bound volumes more than 30 years old may be in the Storage Library but accessible within 24 hours of a request.

Finding online articles

Finding an article online: Most of the time you will probably be looking for a specific article in a journal which may or may not be a specifically South Asia journal.

If you know the journal name and the issue needed...

  • Check DiscoverE to see if Emory has either a print version or access to an electronic version. If there is more than one listing of an electronic version, there may be differences in years covered.
  • If there is a DiscoverE record indicating Online Access Available, click the Online Resources tab to see a list of providers and the years of the journal covered by each.
  • If your issue is not included there, go back and double check the coverage of other DiscoverE listings for electronic editions -- because not all electronic editions are in the EJournals Database -- or print editions, if any.
  • If you do not find your journal or the specific issue of the journal listed in DiscoverE, it may still be available in full text electronically through databases whose journal titles are not listed for technical reasons in DiscoverE.
  • If you do not find your journal online after a reasonable search, request a copy of your item via interlibrary loan.

RISA Recommendations

This list is based on one initially compiled by Herman Tull, Lecturer in Sanskrit, Princeton University, November 2012, for the Religion in South Asia listserv (RISA-L).  Annotations have been added about availability at Emory.  Some may be available free online from the publisher; some, available online via Emory license (accessing via campus computer or network id); and some may have print issues at Emory or a combination of print and online issues available via Emory licenses.  Print runs may be located at the Theology Library, in Woodruff Library, or in the Storage Library.  Some journal runs are available via Microfilm.  Emory licenses online access with multiple aggregators, so sometimes online access may be available from multiple sources with or without overlaps in coverage.  These various access points will typically be listed in the "Online Resource" tab of the DiscoverE record of a Journal.  Sometimes these sources will not include the publisher itself, and the publisher may impose an "embargo" of six months or more on access to recent issues.  If Emory doesn't have the journal or specific issue you want, ILL can usually get it for you.  If you think Emory should have a subscription, contact the South Asian Studies Librarian: ellen.ambrosone@emory.edu.
