Finding Your Magazine in the Library: Step One: Search for Your Magazine's Title
Determine if Berry Library provides access to the music magazine you want to read by following the steps on the screen shots.
At the Berry Library home page, www.salemstate.edu/library:
Hopefully, the Library website will take you to the next page that shows which databases include your magazine.
If the Library does not carry your magazine, it will tell you.
This means you must choose another title.
You must use magazine issues from the Library website. You cannot go to Google.
Finding Your Magazine in the Library: Step Two
If you are searching from off-campus, you will be asked to enter your SSU username and password before you can access the databases.
Refer to "
Off Campus Access to Library Resources"
if you would like a refresher on entering a password when searching off campus.
Finding Your Magazine in the Library: Step Three: Viewing Holdings for Your Magazine
This is a screenshot of what opened up for me when I clicked "GO" on the library search box.
It shows which databases carry the magazine you would like to read and the holding dates for that magazine:
Finding Your Magazine in the Library: Step Four: Choosing a Database to Search
I chose "MasterFILE Premier"
Finding Your Magazine in the Library: Step Five: Working with Your Magazine in MasterFILE Premier
On the screen that opens, you can browse through specific years or enter search terms.
These are examples of recent searches for "Cardi B" in Rolling Stone:
Search Example One: Browse Articles in a Specific Issue
Search Example Two: For a Specific Artist
