See the Articles tab for locating journals, magazines and newspapers.

1. Try a title or keyword search on your topic.
2. Look at several relevant records from the results list and note words and phrases from the "subject" area.
3. Go back to the search screen and search BY SUBJECT using the words you identified in step 2.
4. When you find something useful, either copy down the call number and location (if it is in our library) or submit an interlibrary loan
