There are several ways to find literary journals.

• Browse the MLA Directory of Periodicals or search the MLA International Bibliography by keyword to find relevant articles in scholarly journals.
• Use an older edition of Harner's Literary Research Guide to find periodicals in each field of study.
• Browse journal lists in Project Muse or JSTOR by subject.
• Look in the Literature section of Magazines for Libraries (3rd floor Library North Z6941 .M23). Though this guide to periodicals is dated there is still much good information to be found here.  Keep in mind that many of our journal subscriptions are now online only.  
• Look at the website for the organization in your field. Many publish journals (Modern Language Association publishes PMLA.)

To find specific journals, choose Journals from the drop-down search menu on the Library homepage and search by the journal title.  This search will tell you whether or not we have a particular journal, which volumes we have, and in which format (print, online, or microform).

If we don't have access to a journal, you may request articles through Interlibrary Loan.  You will need the complete citation for the article.

As its name suggests, BrowZine is designed for browsing recent scholarship in journals you read regulary or in tracking specific subject areas.  No pre-2005 content is available through this service.  For more in-depth research or to find articles on a specific topic, we recommend subject specific databases or Discover search.  For access to the library's full range of back issues, please search our Journal List.
