Let’s begin at the James White Library Website: www.andrews.edu/library Click on Articles/Databases This presentation will demonstrate how to find the text of an article using Periodicals A-Z
The first citation we will look for is an article by Blake Harwell entitled, “Why Story,” from the March-April 1998 issue of Preaching. Click on Periodicals A-Z Specific Citation
Just type the journal’s title and click on the search button.
Now we have a list of journal titles beginning with Preaching. We can tell it’s the second title on the list because of the dates. We are looking for 1998. James White Library has this journal in its Print Holdings. Clicking on James White Print Holdings shows where the print copy is located in the library Article in JWL Print Holdings
As a second example we have a citation for “Grandparent Visitation Rights” from the July 2005 issue of the Journal of Family Issues. Again we type in the title of the journal.

From this screen we can follow the links one page at a time until we get to the actual article. First, search the archives for the publication year--2005. We need the July issue.
