EBSCO A-to-Z is a new electronic resource on the Library’s Journal & Newspaper Articles page. EBSCO A-to-Z is a searchable listing of all the full-text journals available in the different databases we subscribe to through EBSCOhost (Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, etc.). Now, if you’re looking for an article in a particular journal, rather than browsing the title list for each individual database, you can search all of them at once. You can also access a list of subject headings in order to find journals dealing with a particular topic. There is a walkthrough with tips on using EBSCO A-to-Z on the Library’s Tutorials page. If you have in questions, feel free to contact me.
