Journals
The library's Journal Titles search helps you to:
- identify which journal titles are available at UR
- identify which titles are in print or can be accessed as e-journals
- access the e-journals through UR subscription links *
- connect to the catalog to find "holdings" information for print titles (which volumes/years that UR owns)
- find UR journals by subject
Some publishers "embargo" their most recent issues so that you may only be able to electronically access articles published 1-2 years earlier.
The Journal Titles tab is also located on the library homepage with OneSearch and Books & More.
