At MJC you can find articles in the magazines and journals you'll find in the library or in one of our electronic resources (databases):

MJC Print Subscriptions:

The MJC Library subscribes to over 300 print periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals) in a broad range of subjects.

  1. If you know the name of the journal, magazine, or newspaper you want, search for that name using a Periodical Title search in the MJC Library Catalog.
  2. If you do not know the exact name of a journal you want but know the academic discipline, you can search for it by Subject in the MJC Library Catalog (i.e., biology--periodicals).
  3. You can also search for these publications on our MJC Library Periodicals page.

You'll find the current issues (12 most recent issues) of our print periodicals in the Periodicals Area of the MJC east campus and west campus libraries. The older issues will are stored behind the Reserve/Periodicals desk.

You can check out periodicals except for the most recent issue. For a complete discussion of periodicals checkout please view our Check-out Privileges & Fines page.

MJC Electronic Journal Subscriptions:

The MJC Library also subscribes to several Article & Research Databases that provide the full content of articles electronically.

  1. If you do not know the exact name of a journal you want but know the article author, title, or subject search for it in one of our subscription databases that you'll find on our Article & Research Databases page.
  2. If you know the title of the journal, magazine, or newspaper you want, search for that title on our MJC Library Periodicals page. In addition to these full-text online journal articles, the MJC Library has online access to several journals for which we have a print subscription. For a searchable list of those, visit our EBSCOhost Electronic Journals Service page.

Journal Title Abbreviations:

If you have a journal title abbreviation and are not sure what it stands for, try to find it in the Journal Abbreviation Sources.
