 The library here at Ohio University subscribes to many, many online journals, which you as an OU student have access to. Sometimes you might want to search many journals at once, in which case going to a database like Articles Plus or JSTOR is the way to go. Other times you may want to search one specific journal that you know is a good one in your field. You'll often be able to find the journal through Google, but it will ask you to pay. I'm going to show you how to access a journal through the library website without hitting a paywall. Starting on the library homepage, select the tab that says Alice Catalog. In the drop-down list, select Periodical Title. This will limit your search just to scholarly journals, magazines, and newspapers. Note that this won't search specific articles, but rather individual periodicals by title. In the search box I'm going to put the journal I'm looking for, which is Public Administration Review. The red bar at the top of the search results page tells me I'm only searching periodicals. Okay, so I see several search results with the title Public Administration Review. How do I know which one to pick? Since I'm looking for an online version of this journal, I want to look for the one that says Electronic Resource next to the title. Once I've clicked on the title, I see I have a lot of options for getting the full text of this journal. In deciding which one to choose, you'll want to look at the years listed next to each link. This tells you the date coverage for this journal through various databases. If I was looking for recent articles, I'd want to select the top link where it says 2001 to present. If I was looking for older issues, I could go to the second link because it has issues from 1940 through 2007. I'm going to go ahead and click on this second link because I want to see issues of this journal going back a few decades. At this point, if you're off campus, you'll be asked to login with your Ohio ID and password. This authenticates you as an Ohio University member so you can access the full text of this journal. Now I'm in and I'm ready to search for articles in public administration review. If you have any questions about accessing specific journals or anything else, be sure to let us know.
