Journal Locator

Journal Locator can help you determine whether the MU Library has access to a specific journal or magazine. The article you want may not be available in a database, but could be available in print. Print holdings of journals can be found on the Library's lower level. These are shelved alphabetically by title.
Use the Journal Locator to search for or within a journal or periodical. To search for journals by subject, scroll to Browse by Subject; click any subject to see sub-categories. For tips, please see the Journal Locator Tutorial .

Peer Reviewed Journals & Ulrichsweb

Use Ulrichsweb to get a snapshot of the publication details for most academic journals.
You can find Ulrichsweb in the Databases A-Z List on the library homepage.
To determine whether a specific journal is peer-reviewed, type its title into the search bar.
