Search tips:
Instead of selecting
Alphabetical, By subject or By subject & Description, you can select Match
any words. With this search a journal or magazine title only needs to
contain one of your search words.
You can also search for articles by keyword within a specific journal
or magazine. On the page that displays detailed information about the
journal or magazine you will see the link "Search within this
publication." Click on it and a search box will appear with JN (for
Journal Name) followed by the journal or magazine name in quotes in the
search box. To the left of JN type the word or words for the topic you are
interested in followed by the word "and" (without the quotes).
Example: airport security and JN "Wall Street Journal" Click
the Search button.
