Locating articles in specific geographic journals
(for M. McCann, Geography)

Here are some possibilities for locating articles in Annals of the Association of American Geographers or Geographical Review:
 

1) Browse the Campus Library's retrospective print journal collection:

Go to the Library. 

Identify either title in the Library's retrospective journal collection (across from the Library Information Desk on    the main floor).

Retrospective journals are organized alphabetically by title.
 

Locate the journal then browse tables of contents in each issue for relevant articles on your topic.
 

Note: the Campus Library has limited collections of each of these journals:

                        Annals of the Association of American Geographers  1970 to 1989

                        Geographical Review  1960 to 1990
 

OR...

2) Browse or search COCC full text electronic versions of either title from the Campus Library or from home (or anywhere on campus).  If you access this database from home you will need to first log-in using your last name and COCC ID number.  NOTE: "full text" means that you can read the entire article on the screen, print it, save it, or send it to yourself via e-mail.
