You can use our library catalog, OneSearch, to search for specific journals. To access OneSearch, go to the COS homepage, and click on the Library/LRC tab. A menu will appear and you can click on the blue box titled, “OneSearch” to access our library catalog.
-
In the search bar, enter the name of the journal (ex: Wall Street Journal). Some journals may have specific names in OneSearch; for example, The New York Times is listed as "The New-York Times"; however, the Los Angeles Times appears as "Los Angeles Times (Online)." Make sure to double-check your spelling of the journal.
-
If the COS Library has access to the journal, it should appear in the results. Click on the journal title to open its record.
-
Under the “View Online” section, you will see a list of library databases that have access to the journal with coverage dates. Review the coverage dates to ensure the database has access to the journal issue you need. Click on the database name (ex: U.S. Newsstream) to access the journal. If you are off-campus, you may be asked to log in with your MyGiant credentials before being able to access the database.
-
Most databases will allow you to browse different issues of the journal or search within it. Click on any of the article titles to view the article.
-
If you are having issues locating a journal, you can Ask a Librarian in person or through chat, email, or phone and a librarian can check to see if we have access to the journal.
