Does the Library Own This Journal?

Q. How do I find out if the Library owns a specific journal?

A. This is a question that is asked often, especially now that the UAMS Library has an online catalog, and is phasing out the print journal lists that have served so well for the last 20 years.

The lists are being discarded because the journal environment at UAMS is changing so fast that keeping print lists updated cannot be done quickly and correctly.

The best way to find out what journals can be accessed (note, not just owned, but accessed) via the UAMS Library is to use our online catalog. But remember, if the Library does NOT have access in either electronic or print form, the title will not be in the catalog.

The address for the online catalog is www.libcatalog.uams.edu, or it can be accessed from the Library's home page at www.library.uams.edu. Once at the home page, click on the live link called: UAMS Library Catalog and Other Library Catalogs.

That link takes you to: Library Catalog Main Menu. The first option is: Search the Catalog. Click on that one, and you will go to: Library Catalog Search Menu. The second option on that screen is TITLE.

Click on TITLE. At the Title Search Screen, follow the directions by typing in the title you want, using the words at the beginning of the title.
