How do I search for articles from a particular journal?

Follow these steps to search for articles from a particular journal in our library's collections.

 

  1. Go to the CSUSM Library website.

3. Once you open the form you will be asked for information to locate the article. 

  • One way to locate it is to type the exact name of the article title and name of the journal into the form. 
  • The second is to provide the digital object identifier (DOI) number in the form.
