Find a Specific Known Journal Title or Article

Search for the title of the journal in our E-Journal Titles Database. It contains all of the online journals available from the UW LIbrary. Tip: check to make sure we own the year of publication that you need.

If the journal is not listed in the E-Journal title database, request it using UW Library's interlibrary loans services.
