Find Journals

There are many ways to locate journals in both print and electronic format.

• Journals that the Library subscribes to, in both print and electronic format, are cataloged and may be searched just like a book or video via the UC Library Catalog (link) This search provides journal title information as well as holdings information – that means what volumes UC owns and where they are located. If UC subscribes to the electronic full-text version of the journal, you will find a link to the full text journal in the library catalog record. The catalog does NOT list individual articles; to find these, use the Indexes/Databases link to search for articles.
• Also UC has access to thousands of journals via the subscription Indexes and Databases. Journals that are available full-text via the Indexes and Databases (link to the A-Z list of databases) are listed through the Full-Text Journals – Electronic Journal Finder page. The Full-Text Journals page provides an easy way to determine the electronic journals available via the UC Library system.
• There are also specialized collections of journals available. The OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center (EJC) provides a compilation of
  electronic journal titles from many major academic publishers. There are currently over 6000titles.These titles are also listed in the Full Text Journal Journals – Electronic Journal Finder Page (link)
• Sometimes users refer to a specific collection of Full-Text Journals by the publisher (for example, Springer-Verlag) or by entire collections, such as JSTOR. Remember, the most comprehensive method for locating full-text journal titles is to use the sources mentioned above
• Searching for journals can be confusing as there are so many variations. Some titles are only available in print format, some might be located in our Depository rather than on campus, some are available only in electronic format and often some are available in both formats. A good basic strategy to follow is listed below:
