Journal Search


Browse Journals by Subject

This tool is a JOURNAL SEARCH. It tells you if we subscribe to a journal, magazine, or newspaper. NO ARTICLE TITLES. NO RESEARCH TOPICS. Use a database for researching a topic.

Basic Search Tips

Brainstorm Keywords

  • Use encyclopedias, internet searches, and your own brain to develop a list of terms to search. If your first search attempt doesn't match a lot of results, you'll be able to quickly try a new keyword. If your topic is educational entertainment be ready to search its synonym, edutainment.

Short But Sweet

  • Don't enter long phrases. Use only the most important keywords. A research topic like "the impact of autism spectrum disorders on learning styles" should break down to a search for "autism" and "learning styles".

Phrase Searching

  • Keep specific phrases together by using quotation marks. A search for "learning styles" will only find those words together in that order. It will not match the words learning or styles separately.

Truncation (aka wildcards)

  • Use an * to search for multiple word endings: A search for educat* will match results with the words educate, education and educational.
