How to analyze a journal citation
Gordenker, Emilie E. S. “Is the History of Dress Marginal? Some Thoughts on Costume in Seventeenth-century Painting.” Fashion Theory: The Journal of Dress, Body and Culture 3, no. 2 (1999): 219-40.
The citation refers to an article in a journal.
Tip: Use the Journal Search in Omni to see if Queen's Library subscribes to the journal fashion theory. Omit initial articles (the, an, a), if any. Ignore punctuation and case.
When you find journal article(s) you need by searching your topic in an index or database such as Art Abstracts, 1984-present (earlier Art Index Retrospective, 1929-1984) or Artbibliographies Modern, the journals may be in print, electronic or both formats.
Searching Omni by Journal Title Exact is the best way to find out our journal holdings, since not all years are covered in both form
