Finding Periodicals in the Library Catalog

Hello,
You now have the ability to identify articles from the library's print periodicals, which may be relevant to a particular topic in your research. The following print journals have been added to the catalog: 
  •  Journal of Pentecostal Theology (completed)
  • Leader to Leader (completed)
  • Journal of Psychology & Theology (completed)
  • Harvard Business Review (completed)
  • Journal for the Study of the Old Testament (completed)
  • Missiology (in-process)

 Here are a couple of tips for accessing the journals:
  • Use the “Keyword” and “Subject” tabs, but avoid using the “Author” tab as there are too many authors within a periodical to be able to use this feature
    • “Keyword” searches will return results which have the keyword located anywhere in the record (title, subject, article titles, etc.)
    • “Subject” searches only return results which have your term in the subject field.
  • To limit your search to periodicals only choose the “Mixed Material” type and then use the “Keyword” or “Subject” tabs.
  • To see a list of the periodicals - Change the “Material Type” drop-down to “Mixed Material” and then click the “Series” tab or type the name of the particular periodical and click “Keyword”
  • Some print periodicals are also available in one of our databases. Preview the record under the “Publishing Info” section and in the “Format” field to see if there are instructions for where to locate the article. (Click on images for a better view)
