Many of the library's journals are now online only, meaning that if you want to simply browse the literature for trends as if you're flipping through a magazine, it can be difficult! It is not impossible, however, and there are many benefits to this kind of browsing.
The following instructions will lead you through the process of browsing a specific journal.
Step 1: Go to the E-Journal/E-Book Portal on the Joyner Library webpage or by clicking the button to the right on this page.
Next, follow these steps. Click on E-Journals only at the top of the screen, then select "Social Sciences" from the dropdown list.
Education will be in this list. You can choose Theory and Practice of Education. There are 851 journals listed here, which is quite a lot to look through. You may want to simply search by title at the top, if you know the name of the journal you wanted to browse.
