FINDING NEWS, JOURNAL ARTICLES & MORE

You may wish to search in additional online databases.

Connecting With Journals

• Enter a journal title to search the Electronic Journal Locator and then connect with the full text of many journals available at Smith.
• Try out the libraries' new menu of connections, SC Links! The SFX Citation Linker allows you to enter a journal title or full article citation, in order to access the online catalog and some full text resources. Look for the SC Links button in some research databases.

• If those routes fail, go to the libraries' online catalog by Journal title to find call numbers for bound periodicals on the second floor in Neilson Library. Many online journal titles, including the JStor backfiles, can also be accessed through the catalog.
