Indexes and abstracts over 11,000 magazines and scholarly journals in all subject areas with over 7,000 in full text.

RIC currently participates in all 15 JSTOR Arts & Sciences archive collections and the Life Sciences archive collection. Journals in archive collections are always included from volume 1 number 1, and related prior titles, but stop short of current issues. The entire corpus is full-text searchable, offers search term highlighting, includes high-quality images, and is interlinked by millions of citations and references.

RIC Digital Collections preserves, collects, and provides access to scholarship by students, staff, and faculty at Rhode Island College. This digital repository contains archives, departmental and research documents and showcases the Adams Library's Special Collections. RIC Digital Collections invites and encourages the Rhode Island College community to submit scholarly and other documents for long-term preservation and electronic access.
