The simplest way to search for an individual electronic title is via a title search in the Library's E-Journal Finder.  These individual titles may also be part of larger digital collections that may also be useful (see Af Am Resources below).  Remember, however, that many titles have not been digitized and these may be found in other formats (e.g., paper, microfilm) via a "Journal Title" search  (pull down menu) in the Library's main Catalog.
