Searching for Journals

A to Z Journal Search

A to Z Journal Search is used to find electronic journals that are available through UJ Library. It's a quick way to locate full-text articles online. It includes both subscribed and open access journals.

You can search by Journal title
Match all words (enter the full journal title)
Match exact words (enter the words exactly as they appear in the journal title)
E-Journal Portal cannot be used to search a topic by subject - for that you need to use an index such as Ujoogle or a subject specific database.
