Depending on your subscription provider, these will appear either weekly or quarterly. Some journals such as <em>Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians (JSAH)</em> and <em>Architectural Record</em> are indexed within days of receipt at Avery Library.</p> <h3>How far back does the Avery Index go?</h3> <p>The oldest record dates to 1741. The majority are from 1890-present.</p> <h3>How often are new periodical titles added to the list?</h3> <p>We add approximately 10 new journals per year.</p> <h3>How do I recommend a periodical for inclusion in the Avery Index?  </h3> <p>If you believe a periodical should be included in the Avery Index, please contact use the form listed in the <a href="#suggest-title">Suggest a Journal for Inclusion</a> section of this page.

How do I do that?</h3> <p>Search the building as a keyword and then see if your particular search-engine allows you to limit for illustrations. If it does not, you will have to look at each record retrieved by your search to see if there is a "plan" listed in the illustrations.</p> <h3>I only want articles in English. How do I do that?</h3> <p>Do whatever search you want and then see if your particular search-engine allows you to limit by language.</p> </div></div> <div class="section_heading section"> <div class="cul-section_heading"> <h2>Article Retrieval</h2> </div></div> <div class="text parbase section"> <div class="cul-text mb-3"> <h3>Once I find citations in the Avery Index, how do I get the articles?</h3> <p>Search your library catalog by journal title to see if they subscribe to the journal. If your library does not own the journal, ask for an interlibrary loan of the article.</p> <p>Some institutions have a full-text SFX service which allows you to click on a “search full text” button and connects you to various full-text vendors such as JSTOR, Proquest, etc. If there is full text available, you will be taken to the article. If you are a Columbia student, faculty or staff member, look for the e-Link icon and link.</p> <h3>Why isn't the full text article right there in the Avery Index?</h3> <p>We are exploring the various possibilities of digitizing articles or having instant links to other full-text databases that include some of our journal list.</p> <h3>Why aren't there any images of buildings in the Avery Index?</h3> <p>The Avery Index is not an image database.
