How to search within a periodical (magazine, newspaper, or journal) for your topic

While we do hold specific periodical titles and more in some of our library databases, it can be complicated to search for a topic AND narrow down the specific periodical you want the article to come from, but it is possible using a "Search within" feature. 

Keep in mind:

-The periodical may show up in more than one database, but the coverage dates for that periodical might differ depending on the database. Sometimes the database holds archival dates or only carries more current articles for the periodical. Other times, the databases offer full coverage (all years, volumes, issues).

-If you're needing recently-published articles, they might not even be indexed yet and therefore won't show up in our databases!

You can find which databases give access to a magazine/journal/newspaper by searching for the periodical title in the Discovery catalog OR by going to our title finder.
