USING THE JOURNAL LOCATOR AND CITATION LINKER
The Journal Locator allows ECSU users to quickly locate journals, magazines, and newspapers currently available from the Smith Library. This includes both electronic (including full text) and print subscriptions owned by ECSU. The Journal Locator is found on the Library Home Page under Find Information.
The Citation Linker can be used when you already have a citation (title, author, issue, etc.) and want to find full-text options for articles, journals, books, dissertations, and patents. The Citation Linker is found within the Journal Locator title search.
Journal Locator
The Journal Locator includes:
Links to print/microform holdings in CONSULS (Resources found in our library)
Titles available through our online database subscriptions (Including electronic, full text articles)
All e-journal subscriptions which come to us as part of print subscription packages
Use the Journal Locator to answer questions such as:
What journal, magazine, or newspaper titles do we have online?
Do we have access to (a specific journal, magazine, or newspaper title) online?
The full-text for an article I want is not available in the database where I found the citation. Could it be online anywhere else?
I have a print reference to an article. How can I find out where or if it is online?
1) Finding e-journals by title
Search results for New York Times. Notice Smith Library holdings and also several databases subscribed to by Smith Library that may lead to the full text. Also note dates of coverage.
2) Browsing e-journals by title will display a list of all those accessible online
1089* search results for all e-journals that begin with "F" (See screenshot below)
Note: "Smith Library Print/Microform Holdings" which links to resources for particular titles that are available in print or in microform in the library.
Note: ECSU databases that contain the journals (example: Business Source Premier, LexisNexis Academic). Select these to search within each database. Be sure to view the dates of coverage.
Note: "Look up Article" to gain access to full text in many cases
Note: "More full text options" to link to other options for finding full-text
3) Browsing e-journals by subject (Use the drop down to select a subject area)
This search results in over 300* journals in the subject area of Art, Architecture & Applied Arts that the Smith Library has access to either in print, microform, or from one of our databases.
Choosing one of the subject heading examples "Fine Arts - General" contains 33* search results with an alphabetical list of journals and access to articles online and in the library (See below).
Note:
Where available, the "Smith Library Print/Microform Holdings" link contains information about our library holdings in print and microform for each particular journal.
The databases that appear within each journal listing are links that contain access to the journals, often with full-text.
Also notice, "More full text options", and "Look up Article" for other options to access full-text.
4) Searching by DOI or PubMed ID Number (Read details for What is DOI and PubMed?)
Search results for this PubMed article number.
Note: "Sorry, no holdings were found for this journal."
In this case, use Interlibrary Loan to obtain a copy of the article.
5) Searching for Keywords in e-journals
Select from ECSU's list of several databases presented in alphabetical order. This will connect to the chosen database to then begin a keyword search.
Citation Linker
(Use this if you already have a citation and want to find the full-text)
Enter as much information as possible. At the very least include a Journal, ISSN, DOI, or PMD. Also note the "Search for a new journal" and "Get Article Linker URL" at bottom of page.
Below is a view from the above screen shot after choosing "Look Up."
Note: Select "Article" from one of the databases to gain access to full-text in most cases, select "Smith Library Print/Microform Holdings" to see the library's holdings.
* Total numbers of search results and records changes frequently. This is an example.
