Journals

he Lloyd's collection of scientific journals occupies two of the four floors in the library. Local, national, and international titles from nearly 90 countries can be found on our shelves. Complete and long runs of journals are available, beginning with first volumes and dating as far back as the late 1700s. These include:

• Curtis's Botanical Magazine
• Annals of Botany
• The United States Pharmacopoeia
• The American Journal of Homeopathic Medicine
• The Garden (formerly titled Journal of the Horticultural Society of London)

The Lloyd also has the most complete collection of Eclectic Medical Journals worldwide. Other features of the historical collection include the subjects: medical history, pharmaceutical history, botany, and natural sciences. A number of these journals begin in the mid-1800s and early 1900s.

Another highlight of the collection is the Journal of Natural Products, which is currently published by the American Society of Pharmacognosy (ASP) together with the American Chemical Society (ACS). This journal was originally created and published by the Lloyd Library beginning in 1938, under the name Lloydia. It ran under this title until 1978, when it became Journal of Natural Products. In the 1960s, the ASP began co-publishing Lloydia, and this partnership lasted until 1995, when the Lloyd was replaced by ACS as co-publisher. The Lloyd carries the entire run of this publication up to the current day.

Current journals in the areas of pharmacy, horticulture, and especially herbal/alternative medicine are available. These are utilized daily to fill interlibrary loan requests and to aid individual researchers. Some of the more commonly used titles include:

• Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska
• The Journal of Chinese Medicine
• E'coscience
• Journal of Essential Oil Research: JEOR
• Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies: FACT
• Natural Pharmacy
  

The reference room at the Lloyd contains several titles pertaining to popular subjects, such as gardening, herbs, and natural health, which are available for browsing. Some popular titles are Taunton's Fine Gardening, Herbs for Health, and Alternative Medicine.

It is impossible to include the entire range of subjects or articulate the historical significance of the journal collection here. International, national, and regional titles can be found in the stacks. Cutting-edge scientific research and hard-to-find historical information stand side-by-side on our shelves.
