Searching Magazines in Catalog
Tips for searching for specific magazines in our catalog.
We want you to find what you are looking for in the catalog. The following guide may help you search for specific magazine issues, both past and present.
- Search the online catalog for the magazine's title. To narrow your search, use the optional drop-down Limit by: feature, setting it for Magazines and Annuals.
- From the Availability by Branch tab, select the issue of your choice by clicking that issue's small icon in the left column. This icon looks like a small brown book in a hand. (Do not use the regular Place Hold, because you need to tell us which issue you want.)
Issues dated 1999 - 2004
-
To search the online catalog for issues of the 1999-2004 date ranges, include both title and date in your title search. Do not use other limit features.
-
Example: ROMANTIC HOMES 04/12
-
Use the Place Hold link.
Pre-1999 Issues
Please see the Periodical Holdings List for the issues available and contact a library staff person to request a specific issue.

You may now view most E-Source magazine articles full-text, as well as contents of individual issues of a specific publication. For more information, see the help within the E-Source or contact a library staff person.
If you would like the full text of an abstract-only article, please contact a staff person or use online Ask a Librarian.
