Hello, I am doing historical research and need to find common periodicals from the early 20th C. such as Survey, 19th Century, Woman's Home Companion, Harpers Bazar, Ladies Home Journal, etc. UNO used to have the old periodicals on lower level, but I understand they are now in storage. Is it possible to still have access to these journals, and if so what do I need to do? Virginia Aita, retired UNMC faculty member I have access to UNO library with on campus only login and password.
Some of the journals you mentioned are now available though an online database called Proquest American Periodicals. I searched for Harper's Bazar and Ladies Home Journal, and they both appeared there. If you go the the "All e-journals A-Z" link on our home page (http://unomaha.worldcat.org/openurlresolver/search) you can put in the title of the journal you're looking for and it will show you the range of dates we have access to.
We do still have some journals on paper and microfilm. 19th Century is an example of that - we have it in bound peridicals on the first floor. You can come in the building to look at them at any time, or access the databases through campus computers whenever you want. You could also talk to the circulation desk about getting a password which would allow you to do online research from home. Their number is 554-3206, or you can always speak to someone in person when we're open.
