How to Find a Journal

Find a Known Journal

To find a journal, search for it using GalterSearch on the library website.

1. Use either the Search Box in the website banner or click Search in the main menu, and go from there. Both options will produce the same results.
2. Enter the first few words of the journal title. For titles that are likely to produce many results, e.g. Cell or Science, you may want to use the title search option outlined next.
3. For a search by title, enter the first few words of the title in the search box, choose “in the title” from the Search which fields? drop-down and click Search.
4. If you do a title search, you will probably find the book you want quickly. If you still have a lot of results, use the Refine by options on the right-side of the results page to limit to journals, online, etc.
5. To access an online journal click on Links and select one of the online access options.

If you don't get the result you expect, check your search terms or try a search of the online catalog, NUcat.

To search the online catalog, NUcat:

1. Click NUcat under Popular Links
2. For a search by title, change the default search from Keyword to Journal Title
3. Enter the first few words of the title (remove beginning articles such as the or a) and click Search
