Keep up with your favorite magazines

Don’t want to miss a single issue of your favorite magazines but just can’t seem to get to the library to read them? EBSCO has a little known service called journal alert which will email you when a new issue is published. Depending on the magazine you can receive a table of contents of the magazine or links to the actual articles if full text is available. Some magazines will appear in full text after an initial period referred to as an embargo period. To create a journal alert you must first create a my EBSCOhost account.

• Select EBSCO from the Electronic Resources Page
• Select one database from the list and continue

If you are not sure what database to select I would suggest either Academic Search Premier or Masterfile Premier for most materials. If you are looking for a specific magazine or journal and are having problems finding it contact the reference staff via email or IM (imMCCLibrarian) for assistance.
