Hello, The entire journal does not seem to be freely available. Issues from volume 1 number 1 (1968) through volume 562, numbers 1-3 (March 26, 2004) and one other later issue are marked as "Complimentary" on the ScienceDirect Web site. Since I am not using my University's IP address at the moment, the most current 12 months are NOT available. Also, since I can find anything about this "free" access, it could disappear anytime. Does anyone know anything about Elsevier's policy on this journal? Thank you. Sincerely, Georgia Baugh Electronic Resources Reference Librarian Pius XII Memorial Library Saint Louis University 3650 Lindell Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63108 [log in to unmask] Hamaker, Chuck wrote: >Following up on a post last year from Leslie Crashaw on LIS-E re free >journal archives from the Pscyhonomic Society.
