The Electronic Content portion of the Ingenta database provides subscriber access to more than 6,000 full-text periodicals. IPFW currently subscribes to approximately 50 full-text titles through IngentaConnect, which are coded with an  icon. A Browse Publications search offers the option to limit your search to Subscribed Publications and Free Content Only.
