Journal Listing - The Periodical Cat

The Periodical Cat is a complete and current listing of all the journals available to the St. Kate's community, whether in print or online. Once you have a citation, use the alphabetic listing to search for the title of the journal. Compare the date you need with the dates available to determine if you can get the article.

If you don't see you journal title you need listed, assume you can't get it through any resource to which we subscribe. You may, however, place an interlibrary loan (ILL) request. You will receive a photocopy of the article you need, usually in 3 to 5 days, depending on the availability of the journal.
