Finding Journals & Magazines

Locating a journal article available in Milne...

1. Periodicals search page
Use the periodicals search page to find out:
A) whether Milne Library subscribes to a particular journal or magazine
B) what volumes, issues, years we subscribe (or subscribed) to a particular journal or magazine
C) what format the journal or magazine takes -- i.e. microfilm or print, etc.
2. GLOCAT
GLOCAT is the library's book catalog. You are not able to search for specific journal articles within the pages of a journal, but you can look for information about what journals we subscribe to or have access to through an electronic database
3. Serials Holdings List
The print version of our Periodicals search page. The Serials Holdings List is located in the blue binders which are located on top of the ready reference shelves behind the Reference Desk on the main floor.

 

To get an item through Information Delivery Services...
(formerly ILL)
If you have a citation to an article, but cannot find it here in Milne Library, you have the option of getting the article from another library by using our Information Delivery Services office. There are two ways of doing this:
1. Go to the library's webpage (http://library.geneseo.edu) and under the heading labeled QUICK LINKS, find "Looking for articles?" and click on the drop-down menu. Choose "Find Text by Citation" and click. Follow the instructions and fill out the form. If the article is NOT available at Milne, you will have the option of submitting a request for the article through IDS.
2. Go to the library's home page and click on the link for FORMS located underneath the Geneseo College Libraries banner. Next, choose Information Delivery Services and enter your username and password. If you have not registered for an IDS account, do so at this time by following instructions. Otherwise, fill out the form with your journal article information and submit.

REMEMBER!
IDS will only obtain items which Milne Library does NOT own or have access to through one of our databases!!
