The E-Journals Database
The E-Journals Database lists most of the journals, newspapers, and magazines that can be accessed electronically through the University of Chicago Library. If you do not find a publication using the E-Journals Database, you should also search the Library Catalog before placing an interlibrary loan request.
To locate the E-Journals Database, click on "E-Journals" under the Electronic Resources heading on the Library's web site. You can browse alphabetically through the list of titles or search for a specific title.
Please note that because this database literally lists tens of thousands of journals, using the title browse feature can be cumbersome--especially when looking for a title that begins with a popular word, such as "American" or "Journal".
Searching the Database
The E-Journals Database provides three different search options--Starts With, Keyword, or Exact. If you do not know the complete title, we recommend that you use the Keyword Search option. Be sure not to use an abbreviated title for your search. Many article citations will abbreviate the publication title. The E-Journals database does not recognize abbreviated titles.
Once you search for the title of the publication, you will get a list of possible
results. Clicking on the "i" icon will provide a summary of online
holdings. To access the various options available for locating the publication
you want, click on 
.
After making your selection, another window will appear, listing the services available for that title. If the full-text is available, under "Find it Online" you will find links to the various databases which include the title and what issues are available. If the issue or dates that you need are not available, a link for searching the Library Catalog will be available under "Find it at the Library."
If you do not locate the publication you need in the E-Journals Database, we strongly recommend you search the Library Catalog. Find It! is not always perfect, and what you need may still be available in another format. If the Library does not have the publication you need, the Library may be able to obtain it from another library.
