Find Articles at Woodruff  

Woodruff Library subscribes to thousands of periodicals (scholarly journals, magazines and newspapers). For the most part the contents of these periodicals are NOT FREELY AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET.

What is a scholarly journal? One in which the articles:

• are written by experts/scholars in the field
• include notes and/or a bibliography
• are reviewed by an editorial board of outside scholars before publication
• are geared to scholars/researchers in the field

The contents of journals are not searchable from the "Catalog" tab in discoverE.

The catalog tab of discoverE provides the titles and call numbers of all the periodicals in the library collection, (and links to the full text of the journal, magazine or newspaper if we have it available electronically). But if you do a search in the catalog tab of discoverE on "women and Shakespeare," you will find BOOKS but NOT JOURNAL ARTICLES on this subject.
