Marist College Library's long-term commitment to build a digital library has enabled us to move from 1200 serial titles in print to more than 55,000 titles accessible digitally. A complete, searchable list can be found by visiting the Library Catalog and clicking the "Journals" link.
Search tip: use the drop down option for one-word titles, as below.

Many digital editions lack the glossy, eye-catching covers and stimulating layouts of corresponding print versions. This is especially true if they are part of a massive library database, and especially troubling if you rely on covers and headlines - catching your eye as you casually browse the library main floor - to remind you of the valuable content inside. But one often overlooked advantage of these digital serials, is that they allow any Marist community member to create, essentially, their own personal email subscription.
All of our major content providers offer this service - typically styled "Alert"
Examples below:
WilsonWeb
Ebsco
Once activated, this service will deliver the tables of contents of any journal with links to the full text article, on a schedule you can set. And for the more adventurous, most can create RSS feeds too.
Of course there are many more valuable features of digital publications, and many challenges in working with them. Please don't hesitate to contact me (Mark Colvson, 845-575-5218) or any of my colleagues to ask about finding digital serials, building them into your pedagogy, or any other features you nay have wondered about.
