How do I find out if the library owns a particular journal, newspaper, or magazine?

The UMass Global Library's Journal A-Z list is an alphabetical listing of all the journal subscriptions that the library provides you with access to.


Answer

The UMass Global Library's Journal A-Z List is an alphabetical listing of all the journals, newspapers, and magazines (collectively knowns as periodicals) that the library provides students and staff access to.

You can search the Journal A-Z List by typing the name of the periodical you want in the search bar, which will begin to auto-populate. Click on the correct title if you see it or press Enter when you are finished typing. Note: the search bar will not adjust for typos or spelling errors. 

Journal Finder publication Search

 

The Journal A-Z list will provide you with a list of titles that partially or exactly match your search. The results indicate which publisher or supplier provides the periodical and what dates UMass Global has available for you to view, as well as other descriptive information. Sometimes different suppliers provide different years of coverage. To access the full text of the periodical, click on the link that includes the years you need. If more than one supplier provides the years you need, then it does not matter which link you click.

Journal Finder Publication Range

 

You can also browse the Journal A-Z List using the alphabetical selectors. Titles that begin with "The" will normally be filed under TH.

Browse by publication name
Browse by publication name - results

Once you click on the title, you can drill down to the year and issue you need, and search within the publication for a particular author, article, or subject. Note: The screen shot below is a sample. The screens of different suppliers may not be laid out the same way, but will be similar.
