Using GIL to Find Historical Periodicals

Use the Journal tab on the GSU Library homepage to search for historical periodical titles.

Keep the "All Journals" button selected. This will tell you if we have the journal in paper or in microfilm.

Using WorldCat to Find Historical Periodicals

Search for an item in libraries near you:
WorldCat.org >>

WorldCat is a database that searches libraries worldwide, including books, audiovisual materials, periodicals (magazines and newspapers), and archival materials. You can request many of the items in WorldCat using Interlibrary Loan.

Use Advanced Search to limit searches by author, title, and/or format.

If you are looking for periodicals, look for records including the word "microform" or "microfilm." Most libraries will not lend out bound copies of periodicals, but many will lend microfilm versions.

When requesting microform copies through Interlibrary Loan, use the "Other (Free Text)" request option and include periodical title, dates needed, and note that you are requesting microfilm.
