Journal Title Search in Orbis
Orbis is the catalog of Yale University Library. This tutorial shows how to perform a journal title search in Orbis. This is another quick way of finding a known journal (in addition to using the E-Journals Database we talked about last time). The advantage of Orbis is that it not only gets you the online journals, but also the print holdings information of the journal you are looking for. The HTML version of this tutorial is available here.
