Locating a Particular Journal/Periodical:
Some titles are available in print/microform, some electronic, some both. How do you know which? The Online Catalog, I-Share, will tell you which journals the Library holds in print or microform. In the online journal databases, the full text may be immediately accessible, or a link will be provided to take you to the full text in another system. If you are not actually searching in a particular journal database, follow these steps to determine if a journal is electronically available in full-text/image:
