Omni includes content from the various research databases to which QUL subscribes but not everything is included.
If you are looking for information on a very specific topic, or a topic that is subject specific, it is recommended that you search databases that specialize in that subject area for more thorough results.
Once you’re in Omni:
• Select "Journal Search" from the top menu
• Type in the name of the journal
• Press
Both print journals and e-journals will appear in your search results if we have access to them. Check the extent of our print holdings and or the years covered online.
The Queen's University Library offers access to many databases providing citations to journal articles, and, in many cases, the full text of articles dealing with authors and their works.
All of the following resources can be accessed from off-campus but you will need to enter your Queen's netid and password in order to use them.

Use an article index to find journal articles on your topic, as well as criticism and other materials related to literature.
Some will contain the full text of journals and those that don't usually provide links to the full text if it is available via other databases in our collection.
Articles are important in your research as they contain the most-up-to-date research in a given field and often focus on a particular aspect of a topic.
But not all journal articles will be useful for your essay so you will need to evaluate before you use them. Articles in scholarly journals are peer-reviewed—they have gone through an anonymous formal vetting and editing process—whereas articles in magazines or newspapers are accepted at the discretion of a single editor.
