This list provides quick access to selected statistical bibliographic databases related to population studies available to UCLA affiliates through the University’s Library. While some of the databases provide article or document full-text, most of the selected bibliographic databases provide only citations and/or abstracts of articles or documents, and thus may not link to the articles/documents themselves.

  • To access articles in a journal indexed or abstracted in a bibliographic database without full-text, please see UCLA Library catalog and/or CDL Melvyl (Web) to find out which campus libraries hold the journal or full-text database.
  • Some demographic statistical journals and newsletters are available through the E-Journals in or Related to Demography page.
