About Electronic Journals at UNR

The UNR Libraries provide full-text access to articles in over 19,000 electronic journals that UNR subscribes to. There are several different ways to find the e-journal title that you need.

1. Search for E-journals by Title**

This function enables you to search on a key word or phrase that occurs at the beginning of an e-journal title ("starts with" search option) or that occurs anywhere in that title ("contains" search option). Of course, you may also search on the complete name of an e-journal title.

** If you would also like to include print and microform journal titles in the search results, make sure to choose the "Web OR in the Library" option before you perform a search.

2. Browse for E-journals by Title

Electronic Journal Title Lists allow you to browse all e-journal titles that begin with a selected letter. For example, clicking the letter "J" will display all the e-journal titles that begin with "J".

3. Browse for E-journals by Subject

Electronic Journal Subject Lists allow you to browse all e-journal titles that contain contents relevant to a certain subject. For example, clicking the subject "Education" will display all the education related e-journal titles that have been carefully selected by the libraries subject specialist for education.

Directly Accessible E-journals vs. E-journals in Article Databases

On the Electronic Journal Title Lists, blue titles link directly to the journal while black titles are available only in article databases which require a title search in a search engine. UNR's e-journal collection has about 16,000 directly accessible titles and close to 3,000 titles that are available only in article databases. Electronic Journal Subject Lists include directly accessible e-journals only.

If Our E-journal Lists Do Not Have What You Are Looking for...

Do not despair. We suggest you take the following steps:

Search the journal title in the library catalog to see if the UNR libraries own the journal title of a specific volume of the journal title in print or microform format.
If the UNR libraries own the item you need, take a trip to the owning library to retrieve it.
If the UNR libraries do not own the item you need, you may request the item through our interlibrary loan service by filling out a request form for journal articles.

Off-Campus Access

Our licenses with publishers and vendors restrict off-campus access to authenticated UNR faculty, staff, and students.
