Search for Journal Articles
There are three main ways to find scholarly journal articles through the library:
- Discovery Search - Search for individual journals or articles.
- Tip: To narrow your results to scholarly articles, check the "Scholarly Peer Reviewed Articles" box under the "Limit To" header.
- eJournals Search - Search for full journals rather than individual articles.
- You can browse volumes of a particular journal or search within that journal.
- "Browse Subjects" in the upper right corner lets you view all ejournals on a particular subject (ex. Indo-Iranian philology and literature).
- Databases - These are collections that allow you to search the contents of many journals at once.
