1. Go to the Online Library Catalog.

3. If the quick search is not successful use the Advanced Search. Enter known words from the title of the magazine, journal, or newspaper in the Search
for box and choose select either “title words” or “series title” in the Search
by box.
For example, a search of “American society information” as
“title words” brings up a set of results including The Journal of the
American Society for Information Science.
4. When you locate the magazine, journal, or newspaper click on the title and note which library/libraries on campus own this title, its call
number, and a list of the dates or volume numbers owned. Go to the appropriate library to view and/or copy the periodical.
A big red "e" next to a title, indicates that
there is some electronic access to that title (it may
be that you can read only the most recent issue online, or you may have
access to years' worth of issues). Click the link provided in
such cases to see what is available. If the link does not work or indicates
that electronic access is not available, try searching for the title directly
on the Online Research Resources
page.
