Finding Journals

The Library catalogue provides details of all UC holdings for journal titles (print and electronic), both journals with a current subscription and those without a current subscription but for which the Library has retained holdings.

A few pointers

• "journal title keywords" search works best when truncating with an asterisk
• there are separate records for print and electronic journals
• there are separate records for mergers and/or name changes of journals
• which issues/volumes the library has is indicated in the Library holdings summary
• once barcoded specific issues/volumes are displayed under "Show items" link

A separate listing of publications can also be browsed by subject category or by publisher.
