At MJC you can find articles in the magazines and journals you'll find in the library or in one of our electronic resources:

• Journals you find in the library (Print Subscriptions)
• Articles you find online (Electronic Journal Subscriptions)

MJC Print Subscriptions:

The MJC Library subscribes to over 300 periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals) in a broad range of subjects.

1. If you know the name of the journal, magazine, or newspaper you want, search for that name using a Periodical Title search in the MJC Library Catalog.
2. If you do not know the exact name of a journal you want but know the academic discipline, you can search for it by Subject in the MJC Library Catalog (i.e., biology--periodicals).

You'll find the current issues (12 most recent issues) of these periodicals in the Periodicals Area of the MJC east campus and west campus libraries. The older issues will are stored behind the Reserve/Periodicals desk.

You can check out periodicals except for the most recent issue. For a complete discussion of periodicals checkout please view our Check-out Privileges & Fines page.

The MJC Library also subscribes to several Article & Research Databases that provide the full content of articles electronically.
