  • In another database subscribed to by the library

"Where are the Reading Journals?"

Journals that focus on reading and literacy are found in several different databases.  Most of those databases pertain to Education topics in general.

The JOURNALS tab on our website will help you locate specific journals.  While you can search many of those titles individually, this isn't as efficient as searching our databases

Here is a sample of our journals that have "reading" in their titles

Here is a sample of journals that use "literacy" in their titles

Already have a citation from a database or bibliography?  Use our CITATION LINKER to see if we have the journal online, in print, or [if not at all]
whether you should order it via ILLIAD

Locate items from a citation or specific journal

In conducting your research, you may find references to other articles or specific periodicals you would like to locate.

Click on the links to guides below and follow the steps to see if the articles or periodicals are available from this library.
