Finding Journals

Journal

Where are the journals located?

To search for a journal title, start with the Citation Linker. This service checks our online and print holdings for journal availibility.

Many e-journals are also accessible through the Electronic Journals list. If a particular journal is not listed in the online catalog, check the list (available on the library homepage and also linked within PantherCat) to determine whether the title and year is available full-text in an electronic database.

Print journals are arranged by call number in the general collection (stacks), unless otherwise indicated on the location line or notes field in the catalog record. Latest issues of journals (usually the last year or so) will be located in the Current Periodicals Room, lower level, west wing, with some exceptions: there are some education-oriented journals in the Curriculum Library and all of the music titles are in the Music Library - both on the second floor, east wing. You should always check the location in PantherCat to see where print journal issues are located.

To search within a journal, you can also look up individual journal titles using Citation Linker or in Ulrichsweb.com, which lists where titles are indexed.
