Finding Specific Periodicals
How do I know if Murphy Library has access to a
specific magazine or journal in any format—whether online
through a database, in paper, in microfilm, etc.?
Check the
Periodicals Holdings List, which identifies where you
can find periodicals in the library, in databases
available to UW-L students, and in other libraries in La
Crosse.
- To use the Periodicals Holdings List, enter
the title of a periodical (not the title of an article
or a topic).
The example below, taken from the Periodicals
Holdings List, shows that Medicine and Science
in Sports and Exercise is available.

To determine locations and exact holdings, click on the
button.

How do I learn more about a publication, such as where it
is indexed, if it has a website, who the publisher is,
etc.?
Open
Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory, and use the
search box to find information about specific
periodicals.
How do I find publications by a specific association?
Use
Associations Unlimited. In addition to identifying
associations related to your topics, Associations
Unlimited also identifies which periodicals an association
publishes.
How do I find if an article has been cited in another
article?
Use the “citation indexes” that are included in
Web of Science. You can enter information about a
specific article and find out if other articles make
reference to it. Or, search by subject, author, year,
place, etc.
