    6. Browse by Journals Titles If you know the first word of the journal title you are looking for, use this to get the journal. Click on a letter for a journal title starting with that letter. You will get an alphabetical list of journal titles starting with that letter. Click on a title to go directly to that journal. Note that for journal titles beginning with “The,” “A,” “An,” “Le,” these initial ‘articles’ are not included in the titles in the list of journals. Look for the second word in the title if it starts with an ‘article’. If you aren't sure of the journal title, or know only some of the words, use the Search journal title box that appears in the upper right corner of the page. (Remember to leave out initial ‘articles,’ such as “The,” “A.”) Be careful about the spelling, singular or plural form, etc. If you type two or more words, then, these have to be in the same order as they appear in the title. 

    7. Browse by Journals Titles-Cont. Use "Browse journals by subject category" for subject searching of titles. View journals by subject area. (Do not use the Search journal title box for subject searching of titles. For example, if you type "veterinary" to find all veterinary journals, you will miss journals with "animal" in title.) The separate Subject Area lists of journal titles are also alphabetical, and the journal title is followed by the publisher’s name (in parentheses). For example, in the Forestry category, the first journal listed might look like this: Agricultural and Forest Entomology (Blackwell Publishing). You can view the list as well as go directly to the journal by clicking on its title.

Journal titles are repeated under different categories, as and when necessary. Scope notes include topics covered under each subject category, and are not ordered in any specific manner. Scope notes will help you to select the appropriate subject category/categories. For example, if you are looking for journals on "Oceanography", you would see that you can find these under "Fisheries/Aquatic Science" subject category, as "Oceanography" is in its scope notes.  You can also click on a subject category directly from the displayed subject categories. Clicking on a subject category will give you an alphabetical list of journal titles on that subject.
