Find Journals and other Periodicals

A periodical is an item that comes out periodically - like a journal , magazine or newspaper.

To find a journal or other periodical, rather than a specific article, you will need to know:

Does the UCR Library OWN the journal?
WHICH LIBRARY it is located at (or is it online)?
The CALL NUMBER and any special location* (if it is in print)

To find articles in journals, visit our Articles and Databases Page.

Finding a call number or online location

1. Go to SCOTTY
2. Click on "Title or Periodical title"
3. Enter the name of your journal (not the article title)
4. (Limit to Periodicals if you get too many),

E-journals are found in the same way. If a journal is available online, links are provided to the full-text.
