Luria Library

Are you looking for a specific magazine or journal and want to know if the Luria Library owns a copy? Do you want to see what journals or magazines are available on a specific subject? Try our new A-Z List of Journal and Periodical Holdings. Over the summer we purchased this new product to help us find the journals, magazines, and newspapers in our collection (both print and electronic). Because we have 12,180 titles available in 11 different databases, this tool is important for cross searching the databases for titles. The new product is available on our Databases page. You may also encounter a button called Article Linker from within one of our databases that will search the A-Z List when full text is not available in that database, but may be available in another or in the library. The library staff may be customizing the List over the coming months, but it is available today for you to search. If you have suggestions or questions, please let us know.

According to a Library Journal survey, EBSCOhost is the “overwhelmingly” most used for-fee online research tool in the universities in the United States. EBSCOhost databases include:
