We now have our Serial Solutions product available on the Library’s website. It is located under Library Resources – Find Newspapers, Magazines & Journals Online.
There are several ways to search for a publication name.
- Title words (Best choice if you have a good idea of the publication’s name.)
- Select the first letter in which the publication starts with
- Select a subject area
- Enter a publications DOI (don’t worry about this one! Chances are no one except maybe cataloging knows it)
- Select a databases (Not sure why you would want to use this option from this page but we have to have it in order for the other lists to work!)
Please note: Do NOT use the A-Z list of databases as a list of databases we own. This is only a list of databases which contain newspaper, magazine and journal articles. Many of our databases contain book content and they are not listed here.
