Journal Finder

 

  Link to Find Journals to search or browse the Mundt Library's journal list.

FIND Periodicals (newspapers, magazines and journals)  in ALL FORMATS:   ONLINE or PRINT or MICROFILM

                

 

 


How to use Journal Finder

1 After linking to "Find Journals," type the journal's name in the top search box (or browse title instead).  The results will look similar to this:

1 record retrieved for the search: Title begins with "rolling stone"
 

Rolling stone  (0035-791X)
 
      
from 01/14/1988 to present in ProQuest Research Library
from 08/09/1990 to 1 month ago in Academic Search Premier and MasterFILE Premier
from 3/1972-8/1977, 6/1985 to present in Dakota State University's Print Holdings

a.  If the journal is full-text in a database, there will be a link to the database where you can search for the specific article in the journal that you need.  Note the dates for which we have issues of the journal!

In the example above, Rolling Stone is available in 3 databases: Proquest Research Library, Academic Search Premier in Ebscohost, and MasterFILE Premier in Ebscohost. Issues in Proquest Research Library are available from 1988 to the present, but fewer years are available in the Ebscohost databases.

b. If the journal is in print or microfilm in the library, there will be a link to the item labeled "Dakota State University's Print Holdings". Note the dates for which we have issues of the journal!

  • In the example above, after you click on the link to "Dakota State University's Print Holdings", you will be shown the description of the periodical in the Library Catalog.  Click on "Show availability" to find out which issues the library has. 
  • Print journals are shelved in alphabetical order by journal title in the Periodicals collection on the first floor of the library.
  • Rather than using the Find Journals link on this page, you can search the Library Catalog  to find out if the newspaper, magazine, or journal is in print or on microfilm in the Mundt Library. However, the Library Catalog does not include electronic journals found in our research databases. [After clicking on Library Catalog, click on "Search Library Catalog." Choose type of search, either title word/s or title beginning with. If type of search is title word/s, do not include meaningless words such as a, an, the, of, in, with, for, from, to.  If type of search is title beginning with, do not include any initial article such as a, an, or the.]

3. Can't find the periodical in FIND JOURNALS? Then request the article you need through Interlibrary Loan.
