Did you ever want to know whether our iCONN databases have a particular magazine, journal or newspaper? Now, there is a quick way to find that out without having to check the individual title lists of every database in iCONN. It is called "E-Journal Finder" and you will find it on a tab at the top of every iCONN search screen. It answers questions like:
Does iCONN have articles from Consumer Reports?
Can I get a Scientific American article from 1979?
What years of the Christian Science Monitor are in iCONN?
When you click on the tab, you will be taken to an intermediate page where you can select the appropriate version of E-Journal Finder: one for public/school databases and one for college databases. All titles listed are full-text titles. No authentication is required to access the E-Journal Finder site directly(http://www.iconn.org/staff/ejournals.aspx) or to search for a title.
The need to authenticate occurs when you click on a desired title in order to access its contents. If you are in a library, you will go directly to the title using IP authentication. If you are at home, you can access also if you have set up the virtual private network on your computer. (The instructions for doing this are on the library page and on the student intranet. If you have questions about this, call us.)
