In its closing note to its last issue, also posted on the (also now-defunct) diaspora news site Libya Watanona, they stated the following:
Since the journal is not indexed by the usual databases, I’ve taken the liberty of scanning the table of contents of all seven issues. You can find a PDF of them at this link, and I type them out here as well so as to perhaps make them findable by search engines:

I’m afraid there is no online version for this journal (“The Journal of Libyan Studies”). There is an online version for “Libyan Studies” (a different journal) here: http://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/libyan-studies/

“The Journal of Libyan Studies” unfortunately does not exist anymore. There are two journals “Libyan Studies” and “Lamma: A Journal of Libyan Studies” which accept submissions.
