Finding Specific Journals: Home

This guide will help you find journals by title - either in print or online.

Finding Journals Online

Have the specific title of a journal in mind? Instead of wading through a database that indexes thousands of journals, go straight to the source!

Search the Journals List

1. Go to the library website's journals page. You can access this from the homepage under Find --> Journals, Magazines & Newspapers. 

USU library homepage, middle of the page click on "Journals, Magazines, and Newspapers" under Find

2.Then search for the title of a journal and click search. 

 

3. If the library has the journal, you'll be directed to a page where you can access the journal or view more details.

Finding Journals in Print

Using the Library Catalog (Locate)

1. For journals that the library does not have electronic versions of check to see if we have a print copy - this is especially important for older editions of journals! You will need to look these up in the library catalog. (Find --> Books & Media) 

USU Library Homepage, Find section in middle of the page, Books and Media is the first link

2. Then search for the title of the journal and be sure to select Journal from the FORMAT filter. 

3. Click the title of the journal you are interested in to view location and dates for the editions of the journal the library owns.

4. On the catalog's record page look for the "holdings" information to see the specific years/editions that the library has subscriptions to. Confirm that this matches the date, volume or issue that you are looking for. If not, you can request the material through Interlibrary Loan. 

5. Many of our print journals are in our on-site storage facility and need to be requested. Check out this guide for information on the library's BARN system.
