Using eJournals

Basics

You can use the eJournals Portal to search for or browse e-journals by title or subject.  Or from the home page, use “Journal Finder” to search the online catalog.  Look for the eJournal entries.  Links within the record will show you what dates are available.

Accessing specific eJournals

The way you access a specific eJournal can be unique to the eJournal. This is highly confusing to many library users, but it is easy to navigate when you better understand what you are seeing. Some eJournals may be presented through a database search platform, others may go to a publisher site. One thing is common, they will all present you with a table of contents showing the current issue, volumes and years. 

If an eJournal asks you to pay, you either somehow arrived at the eJournal without logging into your Library account or you are attempting access issues we do not subscribe to. Make sure you are logged in. See Accessing Electronic Resources for more information.  Request those items we don’t subscribe to through Interlibrary Loan to avoid paying!
