Your Journals in the Library Catalog
You can use either the Periodical List or the Library Catalog to look up a specific journal, book, or other title. For example, do a search in the catalog for any of the suggested journal titles Professor Redwine said use could use to find your articles. Each catalog record will give you a link to the online access if available and/or the print location in the library.
