NOTE:  If you need a lot of articles, it's best to use the article databases for your topic, rather than searching one journal at a time.  Click here to learn the best way to search for articles in our library.

 

When you want to find a specific journal, magazine or newspaper, the library's Journal Titles search is the place to go.
 

1.  On the library's homepage, find and click the Journal Titles tab.

2.  Enter the periodical title (that is, the journal magazine or newspaper title -- not the article title) and click "search."   In every style, the periodical title is listed after the article title.  The periodical title will be the second title that you see.   See the example below:


 

3.  If the periodical you need is available in one of our databases, you will see it listed in the search results with an Available Online link.
