FINDING RESEARCH PERIODICALS ON THE WEB

Dave Ginsburg writes: "I happened to be searching for something else
on the Internet and found (isn't that always the way) that Google Book
Search has digitized copies of at least some of the US Serial Set and
Hunt's Merchants Magazine, Bankers' Magazine, etc. as well as some
great secondary sources (Hepburn's History of Currency, Dewey's
Financial History of the United States, Laughlin's History of
Bimetallism, etc.).

"While the books are easy to find (you can search by Author and Title),
finding the periodicals is pretty tough - they're in bound editions,
but I haven't yet figured out how to find quickly entire holdings of
particular periodicals.  As for the Serial Set documents - searching
for them is very hit-or-miss, so far.  At least the Library access I
have now lets me easily find the entire run of the periodicals and
lets me search the Serial Set in an organized way.  The books are
available in single PDF files, so one could print out copies, if
one wished to."
