Search by ISSN

Tips

• If possible, search by title rather than search by ISSN because ISSN's are not available for some titles.
• An ISSN search will find only titles that have some value in the ISSN field.
• Type the first four characters in the first box and the last four characters in the second box. You can replace characters with wildcard characters to retrieve variant ISSN's. (See wildcard characters)
• Select Search All Databases to find all of the databases that cover a particular title or select one database to limit results to titles in that database. If you do not make a selection, you will search all databases.
• You can choose to view Full Text Titles Only (titles for which full-text articles are available in FirstSearch) or All Titles.
• You can choose how many titles are shown on each results page. Showing results in pages is faster than showing all results on one page.

Examples

• Type 0040 in the first box and/or 781x in the second box to find the title Time which has these ISSNs: 0040-781X; 0040781X.

Wildcard characters

Use % (percent) to replace 0 or more characters.
Use _ (underscore) to replace 1 character only.

An invisible % wildcard character is included between the two ISSN boxes so you can type the first four characters of the ISSN in the first box and the last four characters in the second box to find ISSN's whether or not they contain a hyphen.
