Visual: Journal results list.

Narration: You will then be taken to a different page of journal results. If we have the journal, it should appear on top. If you don’t see it, first check your spelling.  This search box does not catch typos. For journals that the library has, you will see links to databases that have the journal.

 

Visual: Journal of Education for Business results list. Pointing out available years.

Narration: Check to see what years are available for each database and choose a database that has the year that you need. For example, if you wanted to browse the most recent issue, you could not do so in options that state the most recent year, or year and six months, are not available.

Databases look different from each other but generally provide the same basic information and features, including the ability to search within the journal, obtain journal information, and see an archive of all issues. You may need to click a volume link to see the issues, and then you can click an issue link to see all of those articles, along with their full text.

If you click a year, it will expand to show the volume numbers and issues. Clicking one of these links will take you to all of the articles in that particular issue.

Narration: While we have tens of thousands of journals, but no Library can have every journal that exists. If you cannot find a journal with the lookup tool first check your spelling. As always, you’re welcome to contact us for help to confirm whether or not we have a journal.
