What's in the latest issue?


The previous post (http://ihelib.blogspot.com/2012/12/database-searching.html) explains how to search for subjects in our databases.  Today’s post explains how to find which articles are in the latest issues of some journals.

IHE subscribes to different periodicals, including The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) and Dental Economics.  You can see what is in the table of contents of the latest issue (or previous ones) by visiting their websites, http://jada.ada.org/ and http://www.dentaleconomics.com/index.html, respectively.   You can also look in our catalog or visit IHE Library’s periodicals section in Room 5.

You can read articles in some other scholarly journals by visiting their websites.  For three examples, you can read:

·         Dentistry (www.omicsonline.org/dentistryhome.php),
·         The Open Dentistry Journal (www.benthamscience.com/open/todentj), or
·         PLOSONE (www.plosone.org) featuring articles from various scientific disciplines.

You can also see which articles are available on journals in EBSCOhost.  Log into Academic Search Premier as follows:

1.          Visit Jersey City Free Public Library’s website, http://www.jclibrary.org.
2.       Look in the left column.  Scroll down until you see the “Resources” section.  Select “Online Resources”.

Resources

o    Career Center
o    Health Info
o    Online Resources *
o    Tax Forms

3.     On the top of the next page, select  CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THEONLINE DATABASES FROM HOME.

4.       Select the resource that you want.  For our purposes, we shall select “EBSCOhost” (although there are others you can choose).

5.       Enter the barcode number on back of your library card.  As the page advises, “If your barcode has 12 or 13 digits, please enter the first 11 digits ONLY.”  If you do not have a library card yet, ask your librarian to sign you on.  (This can be done only on an IHE computer.)

6.       Select “Login”.

7.       Select EBSCOhost Web.

8.       Select Select / deselect all and .

9.       Move your cursor over the word “Publications” on the top of the screen.

10.     Click on the first option, Academic Search Premier -- Publications.

11.     In the second search box, underneath Browsing:  Academic Search Premier – Publications, type the name of a journal such as Journal of Oral Microbiology and select .

12.     Find and select the title of the journal you want.

13.     Look at the right side of the screen.  You will see dates listed, such as:

All Issues

14.     Find the date of the issue you would like.  Underneath the date, you may see the available issues from that date.  For example, if you selected 2012, you might see:


15.    Select the issue you want.  (The most recent is listed first).  You will see a list of the articles in the issue.  Choose whichever ones you want to read.
