How can I locate full-text journals in GALILEO?
Alternate Question(s):
• Why are journals from ProQuest and other databases not appearing in the Journals A-Z list? - Answer

The GALILEO Journals A-Z list provides access to full-text journals from GALILEO databases. The A-Z list is powered by the SFX software. You can locate full-text journals by either browsing for a journal by letter or searching for a particular journal by keyword or title.
Not all full-text journals that are available to your institution through GALILEO are currently available via the Journals A-Z list. For example, the A-Z list is not currently showing journals that are available from ProQuest databases. Also, any institutions who have worked with GALILEO support to add local resources like JSTOR, Project Muse, and other databases that they purchase outside of GALILEO to SFX will not see those journals indexed in the Journals A-Z list. GALILEO support is working closely with the SFX developers to correct problems with the indexing of the Journals A-Z list that are causing some journals not to appear.
As a workaround to this problem, users can access the "Find Cited Articles" tool to locate full-text journals that are not currently indexed in the Journals A-Z list. The Find Cited Articles feature can be located by following these directions:
- Login to GALILEO at http://www.galileo.usg.edu
- Click on Journals A-Z (Magazines A-Z for Library and High School)
- Click on "Find Cited Articles" link in the left-hand navigation bar.
- Enter journal title or ISSN and select "Find Citation."
Again, we are working closely with SFX developers to correct the indexing problems with the Journals A-Z list. Once the problems are corrected, the Journals A-Z list will include all full-text titles available to your institution from GALILEO databases.
