PsycARTICLES, a collection of fifty-three premier full-text journals in Psychology from the American Psychological Association (APA) and affiliated publishers, is now available on ScienceDirect.

Password No Longer Needed for NEJM Access
Dahlgren Library has purchased a site license for the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). This will allow all users of the NEJM website direct access when using the site from computers on the University campus, in Georgetown University Hospital, and via the off-campus access link for the Journal Finder. Please contact the library’s Information Services Desk (202-687-8874 or medref@georgetown.edu), if you have any questions.
