A. What is the NYIT Journal Locator?
Use the NYIT Journal Locator to identify journals that the New York Institute of Technology Library subscribes to either directly from the publisher, or through one of our online databases.

B. What resources does the NYIT Journal Locator cover?
Coverage includes journals indexed in our full text databases, online subscriptions, and print subscriptions from the Central Islip and Wisser Libraries. For a complete print subscription index search the library catalog by periodical title. Availability of an individual title from any particular publisher or database is subject to change with little or no prior notice. Individual journals may not be included in their entirety.

C. How often is it updated?
The Journal Locator page is updated on a daily basis.

D. How do I use the it?
Browse the alphabetical list for the journal title you require and click the appropriate link (either to the journal itself or to the database that indexes the journal in question). If the link takes you to the journal itself, it is simply a matter of browsing for the correct issue and locating the article. If the link takes you to a full text database, you will need to perform a search for the journal or article in question.

E. Who can access these resources?
The resources listed here are licensed for use only by current students, faculty, and staff of the New York Institute of Technology. This means that your workstation must be directly connected to the campus network (i.e. within the nyit.edu domain) to gain access. If you are off-campus or are using a third party Internet Service Provider (AOL, RoadRunner, etc.) you will need to log in to the Library's proxy server before trying to access these materials.

F. What if the journal I need is not listed in the Locator?
If the journal you are looking for is not listed or if the dates of coverage are not appropriate to your needs, check the NYIT Library Catalog for traditional print subscriptions. If the journal is not in our collection, NYIT students and faculty may wish to request the item through interlibrary loan. Library staff at any reference service point can help you find alternate sources of information. If the journal you need is listed here but you find that it is no longer available in the database indicated, please let us know so that we can make the necessary updates.

G. What do I do if I encounter a username/password prompt?
The resources listed here are licensed for use only by current students, faculty, and staff of the New York Institute of Technology. Authorized users should refer to the Instructions for Remote Access to Databases to learn how to gain access from off-campus locations. If after following the instructions you are still unable to access these materials please request assistance from our Ask a Librarian Page.

H. What do I do if I am asked for a credit card number?
Some of the online service providers listed here offer services beyond those included in the New York Institute of Technology subscriptions. You are welcome to take advantage of those services that interest you at your own expense, but please keep in mind that the Library can often assist you in finding alternate free or low-cost resources for the information you need. Ask at any reference service point.
Visit or e-mail the reference desk for assistance in using this resource or identifying alternate sources of information.
