The SMFA Library provides access to a range of serial publications, from newspapers to popular magazines to scholarly peer-reviewed journals, in both print and electronic formats. Article databases are fully accessible on campus, and accessible off-campus with your Library barcode. Don't have a barcode? Stop by the Library (3rd floor, B side of the Fenway building) and set up an account!
If you have any issues with database access, contact us at 617-369-3650 or library@smfa.edu. Please note that if your Library account has expired or if you have accrued overdue fines, you may be blocked from off-campus database access.
If you can't find what you need at the SMFA Library, we may be able to obtain a copy for you elsewhere.
