How can I find issues of a particular journal?
When you know the title (or ISSN) of a particular journal and would like to know where to find it, search for the name of the journal in the list of
UNLV print and online journal subscriptions.
If UNLV has a print or online subscription, you'll see an entry like this:
In this example, the JSTOR link will take you to a page with the full text of articles published between 1934 and 2002. Depending on the publisher, you can browse or search the full text of articles in the journal from this page.
To read a current article from this journal online, follow the link to the University of Chicago Press, which offers the full text for issues published from March 2002 to the current issue.
What is the "in print at UNLV" link for?
The "in print at UNLV" link will take you to the record in the library catalog that lists which print volumes or microfilm archives are available, their location and their call number. The first page of the catalog record shows only the first ten issues. To see the full list of available volumes and locations, use the button labeled "View additional copies or search for a specific volume/copy" at the bottom of the page.
Which journals are stored in LASR?
Bound periodicals printed more than 8 years ago are stored in LASR.
How do I get a journal stored in LASR?
Use the blue "Request this item" button, then pick up the item at the LASR window; find out more on the LASR Frequently Asked Questions page.
What if a journal has changed titles or if UNLV discontinued its subscription?
The library catalog has information about older journals, journals that may have changed titles, and journals that UNLV Libraries no longer has a current print subscription to.
How can I get a copy of a journal article if UNLV does not own or subscribe to the journal?
UNLV affiliates may submit request forms to Document Delivery Services.
How do I search only within articles published in a specific journal?
Search for the journal's title in the UNLV print and online journal subscriptions list to find out if UNLV has online access. Most online publishers' sites will let you search within the contents of one journal.
If you don't see a link labeled "Search within this publication," you may need to find an "advanced search" menu that lets you include the "source name" (journal title) as one of your search terms.
