Search for a Specific Publication

Below is a screen capture showing some of the steps for searching for a known title of a specific publication.

  1. Be sure to search the Title field, and you can even search for an exact match by choosing that option on the Advanced Search screen or by putting quotation marks around a phrase, like "New Yorker" to get an exact match
  2. Next, look for the online version. Note: Magazines may be considered 'Journals' in UC Library Search even though they differ significantly from academic journals.
  3. If needed, use the filter options on the left to further narrow your search and don't forget to click "Apply Filters" at the bottom of the column.
