Electronic Periodical Access: System-Wide Search

This guide features SLCL's online periodical databases, how to search for titles, and how to access specific, popular newspapers and magazines.

Introduction

With Search & Discover you can search for publication titles within most of our publications databases all at once. Search & Discover combs through EBSCO, ProQuest, NewsBank, Gale, HeinOnline, and other SLCL databases to determine where a publication can be found. Libby, Newspapers.com, and Flipster are not linked to Search & Discover, so be sure to check these databases separately for publication titles.
