About Journals

In 2002, the DLIR began to address the need for access to an estimated 7,000 journal titles held at the overseas research centers. That year CAORC was awarded a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to conduct a survey at nine of the centers' libraries in the Middle East. Over 2,000 journals were inventoried and cataloged as part of the Middle East Research Journals (MERJ) project. Of these seven rare titles have been selected for preservation and full access over the internet. Three titles have been selected for article-level indexing. See the project description and About MERJ for more details.
