BS00808A.gif (2319 bytes) Getting your hands on Articles
First you need this Information from the Research database or Index:
1. Name of Journal
2. Volume, year, Page number
3. Author and Title of the article
 
example:
Reis, Raul. "Teaching media ethics in a multicultural setting." Journal of Mass Media Ethics 15.3 (2000): 194-205.
 
Reis, Raul. (Author) "Teaching media ethics in a multicultural setting." (Article Title) Journal of Mass Media Ethics (Title of the Journal) 15.3 (Volume and Issue number) (2000) (Year): 194-205.(Page number).
 
Second you need to see if we own the journal here at CSULB:
1. Go to COAST
2. Search for the Title of the Journal (NOT the ARTICLE TITLE!)
3. Note the Call number and make sure CSULB has the Volume you need.
4. Note which floor your volume is located
 
 
Third you need to get the journal off the shelf and make copies of the article
1. Our journals don't circulate so make sure to bring your student ID to pay for copying!
2. Copies are 10 cents per page

What to do if it is not in the library
If CSULB does not own the journal title or volume that you need, you can order it from Interlibrary Loan for FREE!! You must get a Library PIN first before filling out the electronic form.

Is it available Electronically?

Full Text Journal List
This is an alphabetical listing of electronic journals the library currently subscribes to.  Each entry lists years the journal is available and the location of that journal within our electronic collection.
1. Have your FULL citation from a research database or print index/reference in front of you.
2. Check to see if your journal is available by looking at this list of journal titles CSULB subscribes.
3. Make sure we have the volume and year that you need and click on the link to your journal title.  Please Note: you may have to perform an additional search once you are connected to the full text journal.  The best way to do this is to perform a search by ARTICLE TITLE.
