Library-Subscribed Electronic Journals
Search the title of a needed journal (for example, Journal of Research on Adolescence) in UHCL Electronic Journals List or the Library Catalog to check whether Neumann Library has the journal available electronically:
  • In the Library Catalog, an electronic version of a journal is identified in a browse screen as an ejournal, while a paper or microform subscription is called a serial. A link to the database that includes coverage for the journal is found in the full record screen.
If a database link from either UHCL Electronic Journals List or the Library Catalog takes you directly to a publication screen for the needed journal, select the specific issue or date desired. If the database link takes you to a general search screen, search either the name of the journal, distinctive author names or article title keywords, etc., to retrieve the desired material. For more information about UHCL Electronic Journals List, the Library Catalog, or specific databases, see how-to guides.
Free on the Internet
Some journals and magazines (those published by non-profit or government bodies in particular) are freely available on the World Wide Web as open access publications. Even if an online journal requires payment for full-text articles, it may provide selected articles, tables of contents, or abstracts at no charge. Many open access journals are listed in the UHCL Electronic Journals List. To look for more, see the Articles & More tabs on relevant Databases by Subject resource pages, or consult the following resources:
