Full-text of the SEMINAR magazine from 1988-1997 are available through a CD-ROM. This electronic format makes all these SEMINAR issues searchable by keyword, title, and author. The CD-ROM will likely be housed in the Alderman 3rd floor Etext Center.

Full-text of the ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL WEEKLY (from 1998 to the
present) are available through a website, which I just recently learned
about. It is
http://www.south-asian-initiative.org/epw/
Though this is full-text, I have not found that it includes tables,
which were very important for many EPW articles.
