Accessing & Discovering Online Resources

Journal Search in Find It @ USC
Use the Journals link to find out if the library provides access to a specific publication, either online or in print, and for what publication dates. It works for newspapers and magazines too!

 

Step 1: Search by the title of the journal (or magazine or newspaper) and not the individual article.

 

Step 2: Confirm the specific title in your results and look for online and print options.

 

Step 3: For online access, review the choices carefully under View Online > Availability Options.
Note any restrictions on access by campus or school and check the date range.

 

Step 4: Follow the link that includes the needed year/volume to the resource that provides full text.
Usually you can search within the journal for the article title you want or alternately use the volume list to navigate to a specific issue.
