Digging into Scholarly Resources
The journals listed here will be very helpful for your scholarly research. You can discover these journals in the Marriott Library by going to Usearch, the Library Catalog, and typing the journal's title in the search box. TIP: Checking the print volumes as well as the online subscription will provide more comprehensive information about the volumes in the library. The subscriptions may not overlap. You can check by using the "View Resource" link or the "Locations & Request" link, which ever is present.
Need more suggestions?? Use the Library Catalog to identify additional scholarly (print or online) journals by following this process:
- Type in the name of the journal in the search box.
- Limit the results to Journals (on the sidebar at the left).
- Once identified as being in the library, check to see if the journal volume is available online. Note: Not all online journals include every volume that has been published.
- If the journal is electronically available, click on the link which will take you out of the library (this is the "View Resource" link.
- If the journal volume is not available online, click the "Locations 7 Request" link, then the "Arc Click Request" to see if the Marriott Library has the volume in print. You will need to be logged into your "My Account" in Usearch.
TIP: You will find some related articles by using Usearch, but keep in mind that the best method to access articles on your subject is to use the recommended Education Databases.
