The trial access to The Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals is now active through EBSCO.  

“The Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals is an abstract and indexing database on literature on architecture and the built environment created by the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University. It offers extensive indexing of over 800,000 records from global journals, including scholarly articles, professional publications, and unique resources such as architect obituaries, making it particularly valuable for both academic and biographical research. Covering more than 325 current and thousands of retrospective titles from across the world, the database spans key areas such as architecture, city planning, landscape and interior design, historic preservation, and sustainable design. While traditionally an indexing service, a full-text version is also available through EBSCO, providing direct access to complete articles.”
