Journals

Once you have identified an article, you need to check that the Libraries own the source journal. Journal titles can be searched using the ASU Online Catalog. A list of electronic journals in the ASU Libraries can also be viewed. Articles for journals the Libraries do not own can be ordered via Interlibrary Loan.


Below is a selected list of journals that may be of interest to geographers.
