Locate a copy of the article by searching the U of Idaho Library Journal List

 

The article databases are separate from the University of Idaho Library collections.  We don't own all the articles listed.  If you only have an article citation, you need to see: Does the UI Library own it?  IF NOT, order it from Interlibrary Loan.
Does the UI Library have the article?
  1. Exit the article database and go to the UI Library Current Journal List.  NOTE:  The journal list only includes periodicals we are currently getting.  If we stopped subscribing, but still have older issues, the magazine won't be listed.  The journal list also does not tell you what years we own.  For the most complete information, use the UI Catalog.
  2. Find the periodical title (not the article title) which is often found listed after the "Source" or "SO" in the citation.
    • Example citation from Ebsco Masterfile Premier
      Title: KEEP A DIARY, REAP COGNITIVE REWARDS.
      Source: Psychology Today, Mar/Apr2002, Vol. 35 Issue 2, p28, 1/4p
      Author(s): Adams, Julie
  3. Click on the beginning letter of your periodical title.
  4. Scroll until you see the title you are looking for.
  1. Explanation of the list:
    The first three listings of Psychology Today indicate that some of the articles from that magazine can be found in full text in the databases Ebsco Masterfile Premier, Expanded Academic Index ASAP and General Reference Center.  The links take you to the search screen for those databases.
    PSYCHOLOGY TODAY indicates we have a current print subscription in the UI Library, with bound (older) issues found at call number Per BF1.P9.
  2. Recent issues will be found on the Current issues shelves on the 2nd floor alphabetical by title.
  3. If the article is more than a few months old, try the bound issues shelved by call number on the 2nd floor.  In this example, back issues (bound) of Psychology Today can be found on the 2nd floor at call number Per BF1.P9.  Look on the floor directory to locate the section where the B periodicals are shelved.  NIC refers to North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene.  Very old issues of some periodicals may be in book storage and should be requested at the Periodicals Service Center (2nd floor) or the Circulation Desk (1st floor). If you cannot find a periodical on 2nd floor, ask at the Periodical Service Center or Information/Reference Desk.
  4. Electronic periodicals: If the listing has a link and a call number beginning with "Internet" (see example above), then the UI has electronic access to the periodical.  Click on the link to go to the periodical online.
  1. Another way to check if we own a periodical is to search the UI Library catalog
