Have not been to periodicals for a while so this was helpful AND found a helpful technote I didn’t know existed! Thank you.

WULP and eJournal are great, great resources. Can you imagine how much looking we might have to do, especially in order to find specific articles, were they not compiled and searchable in one place? Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder of all the ways to search for journals! I didn’t realize there was a “see also” for UW libraries. That’s great to know, especially for patrons searching for an article from a less well known academic or scientific journal.

We haven’t really had to do this as the majority of times my students can find information they need just in the full-text searching. But it is good to know in case they can’t. Thanks!

I have not had much experience on searching for journals, as my students don’t usually require this type of information for their research projects. I work with middle school and high school students, but I will recommend this to my daughters who are in college.

I have to admit that I have been using WULP and the eJournal Portal in a very limited capacity. Thanks for the enlightenment!

This was very informative. I learned gained a whole new respect for magazines and the current information they hold.

I have heard and seen these two terms and now understand what they do. I think the last time I used WULP was in the paper format. Good lesson and exercises.
