I'm assuming many of you are just like me and do not work in an academic setting, and therefore are very limited in your access to full text journal articles. There had been a discussion long ago about possibly pooling resources to purchase journal subscriptions and sharing articles as needed. That's tough to do over a forum.

My proposal is that we can make a central list of journals members have access to, so when one finds a good article they would like, but do not have full access to, that person could go to the list and contact the appropriate person.

Obviously this would be voluntary, but might be a good way to share resources to help stay on top of the newest evidence related to our practice.

What do you think? I'll start - Like most I have access to:

1. PT Journal
2. Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT)
