FINDING JOURNAL ARTICLES
(Print and Electronic)
Journals and magazines are listed in the catalogue BORIS by title and by broad subject area (for example: Music – Periodicals).
To find individual articles in the journals, access Databases by Subject. Under Music, you will see a list of specialized indexes and databases as well as the multidisciplinary database, Academic Search Complete, which also includes many full-text articles on music.
If you only have a citation to an article (that is no full-text), search for the journal title in which the article is found under
E-Journals, which will indicate if the library has the full-text in other databases.
If nothing is listed under E-Journals, search BORIS for the journal title in print. If you find the right title here, check the holdings information for the date/volume/issue you need and note the call number. Current issues of journals are shelved in the Periodicals Room to the left of the lobby and previous years are bound and shelved by call number in the basement.
Finally, if no full-text can be found in either E-Journals or BORIS, you can request a journal article from another library through Interlibrary Loans/Colombo at no cost. For help registering and using Colombo, see the Reference staff.
