1. Search Databases for Citations or Full Text of Law-Related Articles
(For database descriptions and links, click on titles or scroll to bottom of this page.)
2. Browse Journal Titles from A to Z
Use this option if you already know an article's citation but need to get the full text of the article. You will see a list of the available legal and nonlegal periodicals. This list includes 1) links to any electronic versions, and 2) locations of any print versions. The list allows you to locate a journal if you know its broad subject category or some of the words in the journal title. The list cannot be used to discover an article by word search or subject search if you do not already have the article citation.
3. Search CLICnet (Catalog)
Use this final option for locating periodicals when other methods fail. For example, CLICnet can be used to determine whether consortium libraries other than Hamline have a particular journal. To locate a journal by title in CLICnet, type the journal's title (not an article's title) in the search box, and choose "title" as your search method in the pulldown menu. If you use CLICnet to link to an electronic version of a journal, the article text may appear in a split screen rather than a full screen. However, you can adjust the size of the article window by dragging the border with your mouse.
