Step by Step Directions

You can type the title or ISSN into the search box and click the search icon to begin your search. As you start typing, Primo will automatically start to recommend journal titles you may be looking for.

On your results screen, you can use the Refine Your Results menu at the top left to sort how your results appear, and filter your results based on several different categories. Your results list shows you the title of the journal, journal provider, and whether it is available online via a link, or if it is a physical journal located in the library. You can click on the pin icon to save the result to come back to later. Click on the title to open the detailed record of the journal.

After opening the detailed record, you can click selections in the "Send to" section to print the bibliographic information, copy and paste a citation, save copy the permalink for the journal, or email the result to someone. You can use the search box in the "Search inside" section to look up specific terms contained only within the particular journal. You also can click on the links provided in the "View Online" section to access the journal within our databases to locate specific volumes and articles within the journal.

Journal Search also allows you to browse journals by category at any point during your search. Use the Journals by Category menu to expand topical categories, and then click on a category you are interested in to see the journals available that cover your topic.
