Journal Finder Access

JOURNAL FINDER

Journal Finder is a database that tells you what journals Trible Library holds, and in what format. To use Journal Finder:

  •  From the library’s home page (http://library.cnu.edu/), click on the "Resources and Services" button and then the “Journal Finder” tab.
  • You will see the basic search screen. Enter the name of the journal you wish to find.  Correct spelling is a must.
  • You will see a listing of title search results.  The "online" icon indicates there are electronic holdings, the 'book' icon shows that the Library has print holdings. Every title in Journal Finder will have the 'mail' icon (which represents document delivery or ILL), and the 'car' icon which indicates holdings in other libraries.
  • Click on the appropriate icon to discover what holdings the library has for the journal title you need. Notice that the online database where you will find the journal is listed, along with dates of coverage.
  • When you click on the title/source you want, you will be linked to the database containing the title, where you will locate the specific article you need.

 

ADVANCED SEARCHING

Advanced searching allows you to search journal titles by keyword, a very useful feature if you’re not sure of the title.  You may also search by ISSN number.  You may also access subject lists of journals held by Trible Library in the advanced searching mode.
