The e-journal portal provides access to the Library's electronic journals. A journal title can be found by typing in the journal name or by scrolling through the alphabetical listing of journals. If off-campus users do not login on the Library homepage, they will be asked--when clicking on the e-journal portal link--to login with their Library barcode and password.

Remember: a journal that is not available electronically, may be available in print. To determine if a journal title is available in print (or electronically), check the Online Catalog (see below).

To determine if the Library owns a particular journal or book electronically (full-text online) search the Online Catalog. The Online Catalog is the most complete listing available of journals and books (both for print and electronic).
