The BMCC Periodicals Department offers its users 300 current serial titles (newspapers, magazines, and journals), 18,000 reels of microfilm, and 20,000 electronic journals.
To find out if the Library subscribes to the journal you need, search the library catalog CUNYPlus. CUNYPlus also contains records for back issues of journals and magazines the Library no longer subscribes to.
Another way to find out if a certain journal is available in the Library is by checking the Complete List of BMCC Journal Subscriptions. The list contains a every electronic and print journal that is available in the Library. From here you can access an electronic journals directly or search the journal for articles. If you are trying to access the journals off campus you will be prompted to enter a user name and password. For more information on how to log on to the databases consult the Remote Access Guide.
In addition to electronic indexes, the Periodicals Department also subscribes to a number of print indexes such as The New York Times Index, The Wall Street Journal Index, The Social Science Index, The Humanities Index and the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature Index. The staff in the Periodicals Division is available to offer advice and instruction on the use of these indexes.
Print journals can only be used inside the Library and there is a limit of two journals per person.
