Keep in mind that Discovery Search does not show you all the articles that you have access to through the Libraries. Explore the Libraries databases and the E-Journal Search tool to expand your horizons!
You can limit your results to these formats using the limiters on the left-hand side of the results page.
How can I improve the efficiency of my searching?
For more powerful searching, incorporate Boolean operators and other characters into your search construction. These tell the search engine how to make sense of what you've entered.
The first search below does not use Boolean operators and returned half as many articles as the second search which does.
How do I find electronic periodicals (magazines, journals, trade publications)?
E-Journal Search is a tool that allows you to search for electronic periodicals that you know the title of (ex. Film Quarterly or Slavic Review).
