Finding Journal Articles

Example reference: M. Beard, "Cicero and Divination: the Formation of a Latin Discourse" JRS 76 (1986), 33–46.

You can locate the article in one of three ways:

  • Use MultiSearch and enter the title of the article AND (optionally) the author's family name into the search box (e.g., beard cicero and divination the formation of a latin discourse): Guide to finding scholarly articles with MultiSearch
  • Use the Classics Journals A–Z
    • Electronic journal links indicate the date range included.
    • For print journals, click the link to the Library catalogue record. Details about what years and volumes we have is shown under "Library holds".
    • Sometimes the titles of journals in Classics references are abbreviated. The list of abbreviations provides the full titles.
    • Example: JRS is the abbreviation for the title of the journal → look up JRS on the list of abbreviations = The Journal of Roman Studies click the "Holdings at UC Library" link scroll down to this journal in Classics Journals A–Z click the electronic journal link for JSTOR, as it includes the 1986 volume
      Drill down to the volume in JSTOR articles are listed in page number order in the table of contents, and the article is the fifth article
    • NB. Classics Journals A–Z does not list every Classics journal held by the Library. Some journals are only findable using the Library catalogue.
  • Use L’Année philologique and enter the title of the article AND (optionally) the author's family name into the search boxes.
    • Example search:
      All fields:
      cicero and divination the formation of a latin discourse Author: beard
    • "External Links" provide access to the full text if available
    • If no "External Links" section appears, you should search the Library Catalogue​ for the publication
    • Logout APh when you have finished searching L’Année philologique
  • Use the Library Catalogue, and choose the search option Browse Alphabetically: By Title from the drop-down. Enter the full title of the journal into the search box.
    Alternatively, try the Electronic Journal Search
    • You may get more than one result if we have both print and online versions.
    • Sometimes the titles of journals in Classics references are abbreviated, making them hard to find on the Library Catalogue. The list of abbreviations provides the full titles that should be used in the Library Catalogue.
    • Check what years and volumes we have.
      • Print: see the details in the Holdings tab.
      • Electronic: see the dates in the link or links to the journal.
    • Example: JRS is the abbreviation for the title of the journal → look up JRS on the list of abbreviations = The Journal of Roman Studies
      In the Library catalogue choose "Browse Alphabetically: By Title" and enter search journal of roman studies

      Click the title to open the Electronic Serial catalogue record click the JSTOR link next to “Online Access” (the 1986 volume is within the date range)
      Drill down to the volume in JSTOR articles are listed in page number order in the table of contents, and the article is the fifth article
  • Use citation chaining.
  • Use one or more of the Journal Indexes and Databases.
    see column at left
  • If a database search tells you about an article but the full article is not there, don't despair:
    • Look for the “Search for Full Text” button or link.
      1. If an article cited in one database is available in full text in another online source, there will be a direct link to the full article or, in a few cases, to the journal.
      2. If the journal in which an article appeared is available in hard copy in the Library, there will be a link to the Library Catalogue. Click that link to see where in the Library you can find the specific issue.
      3. If the article is not available electronically or in hard copy, there will be a link "Interloans request form". This will bring up a form by which you can request the Library to obtain the article for you from another library.
    • No “Full Text” button? – use one of the techniques detailed under the tab Find a specific article.

If you cannot find it at UC Library or online, request an Interloan and we will get it for you from another library. There is no charge for this service.
