Find a Journal - Transcript

You may be given the citation of a journal article, or you might want to find an article referenced in another source. One way to find the full text of the article from the library is to use the Journal Search feature in Omni. In Journal Search look up the title of the journal you are interested in locating. From the results choose the corresponding journal. If Journal Search does not retrieve the title of the journal you are looking for you can request the article through Interlibrary Loan.

In the journal record look in the View Online section of the record. Here you will see the databases were the journal can be accessed. Pay attention to date ranges in this area as not all databases will have the same date coverage for the journal. Choose a database in View Online to access the journal. At this point you will be prompted to login using your student number and network password.

Once you access the journal you can usually search within the publication, or you can view a specific issue.
