It provides a compiled list of the journals, both electronic and print, the library has access to. You can search by title or ISSN and if the journal title is found, the journal title, the dates of coverage, and the database/s that contain the full text articles will be listed. A link indicating “Library Holdings” means the title available in print form on the second floor of the library. All the journals are shelved from A to Z alphabetically.
