Yale Library's catalog has a filter for Journals & Newspapers, which will limit your results to search only for serial publications. You will have your best results if you change the search drop-down menu to the right of the search box from "All Fields" to "Journal Title."

Here is a blank search with the filters pre-applied for you. This will show you both print and online journals. Keep in mind that journals that are out-of-print or from smaller societies may only have their back files in print. You can use Scan and Deliver (available on the item page) for the articles you need.

In addition to the library catalog, we list all available online versions on the Online Journal Page. Pay attention to the date ranges for each available listing — sometimes, we do not have access to all of the back file or (rarely) the most recent 12 months.

We hold many journals that are well-ranked in the Journal Citation Reports' Ornithology category.
