About Periodicals @ HPU

The library has access to thousands periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers, items that are published in a periodical basis). For the most part we have access through subscription packages, others by print subscription and some  via open access.  Generally the most effective way to search periodical articles is by using databases, however, sometimes you may want to search articles within a specific publication; if so you must use the Periodical List. 

If we do not have access to the journal or periodical you need, it may be possible for us to obtain articles through interlibrary loan. 

Note: If you are off-campus, you may be prompted to log in to your MYHPU account before accessing our resources.

Searching in Periodicals

You have the option to search or browse for specific periodical publications. It is recommended to use the search function when you have the title of the specific publication you are inquiring about.


The default search takes you to  journal search type title of publication. Or if you have a specific journal artilce you are looking for click on the article option and fill the form with as much information that you have.
