Assignment: Journal Review

Find an online journal in a database or do a "journal title" search in the catalog to see if we have the one you want.

For an updated list of electronic journals we have, go to this page: http://dq4wu5nl3d.search.serialssolutions.com/

 

Usually  can click on the journal title in your EBSCO record to see some basic information such as whether or not it is scholarly and publication dates. The vendor/publisher (ex. haworth press) of most journals should have an "about" page as well.  If the information is not available online, you can look at a recent print copy of the journal (inside cover) but this varies based on the journal.
