E-Journal Portal

The E-Journal portal is used to find what electronic periodicals are available through Connelly Library. It includes both subscribed and open access periodicals. It includes periodicals of all types: Journals, Magazines and Newspapers.

You can search by periodical title, words in periodical title or ISSN number
You can also browse periodicals by TITLE or SUBJECT
E-Journal Portal is not used to search a topic by subject - for that you need to use an index such as Summon or a subject specific database. However you can search within a particular periodical. So you can search on a newspaper title and then search within the newspaper. This search uses the Summon search.
You CAN search specific articles by DOI or PubMed ID (PMID) Number

We have a guide showing in more detail how to use the E-Journal Portal
