Finding Journal Articles using DiscoverE's "eJournals" Tool
Emory University Libraries subscribe to thousands of journals electronically. It is common to have full text access to one journal via multiple database subscriptions. It is also common for each of those subscriptions to include different date ranges of each journal or include embargos on more recent articles. To make it easier to find all subscriptions to a particular journal, use our eJournals tool to find your article.
Step 1: Open the Emory University Library Catalog, and select the "Search Tool - eJournals (A-Z)" tile under "Other Resources."
Step 2: Search for your journal title and click the title you want - this will open a new window
Step 3: In the new window, review the list of databases that include access to this journal. Notice that some databases have different coverages while other include embargos on the most recent issues. Select the database that includes access to the date range of your journal article.
Step 4: Once in the appropriate database, either Browse the database for your volume/issue or search using the article's title.
If Emory does not have full text access to the journal / article you are trying to find, then you will need to request it from another library via InterLibrary Loan (ILL). To request an article via ILL:
