How do I find out if the library has access to a specific journal?

How can I search for articles in a specific journal?


Answer

If you need to find out if the library has access to a specific journal, you can search for it in our Journal Titles search page.

Set the search button to "Journals" and the "Search Type" to the setting that best suits your needs.

The results page will show all of the journals to which we have access that match your search terms. If the journal does not appear, we most likely do not have a subscription to it. 

When you click on the title of the journal, the screen will split to display details about access, such as whether it is full-text, the date range we have access to, whether it is in print or available online, etc. If you would like to search within the journal, click on the linked journal title. If you are off-campus, at this point you may be prompted to log in with your Salve credentials.

From this point, the search interfaces for each journal vary widely. If you're having trouble navigating your search within an individual journal, contact the library via chat during our operating hours or email, and we'll be happy to help you! 

If we do not subscribe to the journal that you need, please use interlibrary loan

Note that searching for Journal Titles only finds whether or not McKillop Library offers access to that particular title and if so, in what format. The Journal Search does not search for articles -- to search for articles, go to our databases a-z page.
