E-Journals

Listed below are e-journals licensed or owned by Rod Library in the areas of tourism and leisure. Some of the e-journals are through a publisher's database and some are through an aggregator (third party vendor).  In most cases, you can browse the electronic journal as you would the print journal. You can often conduct a search for articles within the publication. Rod Library has access to journals in a variety of formats. To identify whether or not Rod Library has a journal in print or electronic format, conduct a Journal Title search in UNISTAR [24] using the name of the journal. To access additional full-text journals licensed by Rod Library, view the online journal [25] by subject list.

Off-Campus Access Instructions [45]
Contact the Library [3]

Information concerning tourism can be found in a number of scholarly and popular journals and magazines. The following Rod Library databases are most useful in finding journal articles in this area. Many Rod Library  electronic resources contain the full text to articles. Select the desired database  from the Databases A-Z listing under Articles tab on the Rod Library home page [46].  The “*” symbol located next to the database name in the list below designates that the database contains at least some full text articles.

ScienceDirect [47]

Access to over 1100 full text electronic Elsevier journals in the sciences and social sciences through this service provider. You can search MEDLINE/PubMed through this database by checking the Abstract Databases box located in the Sources field on the search screen. If you search MEDLINE/PubMed through the ScienceDirect database, the citations give the full title of the journal name instead of abbreviations unlike the MEDLINE/PubMed database accessed through the National Library of Medicine at <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/ [49]>.

Academic OneFile [50]*
Rod Library Databases A-Z [48] page.
Academic OneFile is from the service provider InfoTrac. The database covers a wide range of subjects, including recreation and leisure services.  Many articles are available full text within the database. If the full text of the article is not in the the database, click on the yellow "Find It" button to determine if Rod Library has full text access to the article in electronic format, in print format, or if Rod Library has NO access to the article.

Indexes articles from 1975 to the present in sports, physical fitness, sport science & recreation.  The database includes ATLANTES, Catalogue du Musee Olympique, and HERACLES. This is not a full text database. There may be a few full articles that are linked to in the database, in these cases look for a FTXT field and click on the link.  If there is no FTXT link, then click on the yellow "Find it" button located at the bottom of each record to determine if Rod Library has full text access to the article in electronic  format, in print format, or if Rod Library has NO access to the article.

PsycINFO [52]
 Rod Library Databases A-Z [48] page.
Indexes the psychological literature from 1887 to the present.  For the most part this is not a full text database. There may be a few full articles that are linked to in the database, in these cases look for a FTXT field and click on the link. Click on the yellow "Find it" button located at the bottom of each record to determine if Rod Library has full text access to the article in electronic format, in print format in another database, or if Rod Library has NO access to to the article.

ABI/INFORM [53]
 Rod Library Databases A-Z [48] page.
Indexes articles from 1971 to the present in business & economics. Many articles are available full text within the database. If the full text of the article is not in the the database, click on the yellow "Find It" button to determine if Rod Library has full text access to the article in electronic format, in print format, or if Rod Library has NO access to the article.

CINAHL [54]

None of the EJ (ERIC journal articles) are full text in ERIC but many of the articles can be found full text in the Education Full Text database.

UNISTAR (Use to find books)

Search UNISTAR [69]
UNISTAR Guide [70]

Use UNISTAR [69], the Rod Library's online catalog, to identify and locate BOOKS and other resources about tourism owned by the Rod Library. UNISTAR may be found under the Books & More tab on the Rod Library home page [46].  Rod Library uses the Library of Congress Subject Headings which group items by subject. Therefore, if you find one book on your topic there will be other books on the same topic nearby on the shelves. You will also want to use UNISTAR to determine if the UNI Rod Library has access to a specific journal either in print or electronically. For articles that you found were not full text in the database you were searching, do a "Title" search (Title of the journal/magazine) in UNISTAR to determine if the Rod Library has full text access to the article. Remember UNISTAR does not go down to the article level but you can determine if the Rod Library subscribes to the journal and were it is located.
