Listed below is a small selection of journal titles from a variety of subject areas. If the journal is available online, you can click on the title to access the journal. If the journal is only available in print, the title links you to the catalog record.
Use Journal Finder to search for any journal (print or electronic) in the Shepard Library collection. You must search by the journal title, NOT the article title.
1. Search for your topic in a database (like Academic Search Premier).
Use keywords. For example, if your topic is women's roles in the political system of Iraq, your search might be "women and politics and Iraq."
2. If the articles you find are in full text, you can read them, save them, e-mail them, or print them immediately.
Otherwise, save the citation information: article title, article authors, journal title, date, volume/issue, and page numbers.
3. Look for the journal title in Journal Finder. If we have that journal, check to see if it is in electronic (computer icon) or print (book icon) format.
4. For electronic format, click on the computer icon. Check the dates to make sure we have the dates you need. Click on the database title, then conduct a search or look through the issues to find your article.
5. For print format (this includes microfilm and microfiche), click on the book icon to see the catalog record, which will tell you what dates we have. Make sure your article's date is covered.
6. At any point, please ask us for help if you need it!!
