New database: PEP-Web Archive
Below is the new database which could be accessed via library website.
1. PEP-Web Archive
PEP-Web contains the premier journals and classic books in psychoanalysis. The PEP-Web Archive is updated annually in January with new books and journal titles, and current journal issues are added as they are published.
Embargoed Content: Due to contracts with publishers, there is a three to five year embargo on most current content. For the embargoed years, only abstracts and article summaries may be read on PEP-Web. However, the full text of all years is still completely searchable, making it easy to find current and relevant articles. To see the list of journal embargo dates go here.
