UNC catalog search with Links (search opens in new window)

Not all popular magazines will be digitized and available as full-text. If you find an article or book review of interest, always search the catalog by Journal Title to see if we have the magazine/journal (either electronically or in print) and for what years.

For example, UNC only has "Saturday Review of Literature" (New York) in print and volumes must be requested from the storage facility (Llibrary Service Center, takes 1-2 days): "Saturday Review of Literature"
