Library OneSearch allows users to search for both journals and articles published in journals (both peer-reviewed and otherwise).
If you're looking specifically for journals, you can use the "Publication Finder" function on the Library OneSearch homepage.
If you wish to browse for publications related to a specific field or discipline, you can do so using the links below. Clicking on any of these subject links will bring you to a listing of any publications that are related to that particular subject.
If you're looking for a particular journal - for example, the American Journal of Psychology - enter its title in the search box on the Library OneSearch homepage. Click "search."
Note that in this example, the result for “American Journal of Psychiatry” indicates that there are multiple periodicals with similar titles available through Kresge Library. Clicking on the first result - the publication from our example search - will open up a new list that shows you what versions of the item we have available.
Clicking on the item's catalog record will show you which databases you can use to access full text versions of the journal. Some journals may be available in more than one database. Clicking on the title of the database you wish to use to access the journal will take you directly to the online version of the journal.
From there, you may either browse specific issues of the journal or search within the publication. For example, the image below is the current issue of American Journal of Psychology, as hosted by the database Scholarly Publishing Collective. Clicking on the "view this issue" button will allow you to review the current issue online through the database.
You can review the current issue, as well as any digitized issues, by navigating through the online version of this publication. Individual articles can be viewed and/or downloaded in PDF format, as enabled by the database (note: you will need to log into the database with your institutional credentials to have full access to any resources).
Library OneSearch allows users to search for both journals and articles published in journals (both peer-reviewed and otherwise).
To search for articles on a specific topic, enter your keywords in the search box and click "search."
Your search results will look something like this:
Note that there are several ways to narrow down your list of search results using the facets on the left side. Some popular options include limiting results to articles that are available online or articles that are in peer-reviewed journals. You can also limit by type, author, or subject. Just click in the boxes next to your selections, and OneSearch will automatically update the results list.
Clicking on a search result (either the title or the text that reads Available Online) will open a new page that will display the item's catalog record and options to access it online. There may be several different access options, depending on the resource - see the options below to learn how to recognize what kind of access each article may have.
Articles that enable a PDF download:
Articles that enable an immediate download (PDF version) will be denoted by the indicated icon. When reviewing the item's catalog record, click this icon to obtain a downloadable copy of the article (you may need to log in with your institutional credentials first).
Articles that offer full text online:
Articles that enable full-text access online will be denoted by the indicated icon. When reviewing the item's catalog record, click this icon to be redirected to the database which houses the full text version of the article (you may need to log in with your institutional credentials first).
This option will open the article in the database, and access from within the database will either be provided as a PDF (as in this case), or as a readable version in the browser.
Articles that require an inter-library loan request:
Occasionally, Library OneSearch will display the record for an item to which Kresge Library does not have digital access. In those cases, users are able (and encouraged) to make an interlibrary loan request to obtain a copy of the item from another institution.
