How to Find an ISSN: Home

What is an issn.

An ISSN is an 8-digit code used to identify newspapers, journals, magazines and periodicals of all kinds and on all media–print and electronic.  They may contain numbers and letters.

An ISSN is formatted like this: 1234-5678

The inclusion of an ISSN speeds up an ILL request for an article.  It is now a required field for ILL requests.

How to Find an ISSN

Check in foxhunt, check the article page, check in the database.

Search Google for the ISSN by entering in the “Journal title” enclosed in quotes, followed by journal and  “issn number.”

In the FoxHunt search results, click on the item's title (to find the article in FoxHunt, you may need to click the button labeled "Add results from other libraries (additional delivery time)" at the top of the left hand menu). The ISSN will appear towards the end of the information offered on this page under details.

When you click on the link to the article or to Find Full Text in Fox Hunt or a database, a page will open with information about the article, including the ISSN.  You'll usually find it under the article title.

Databases offer additional information about journals, newspapers and magazines.  Click on the journal, newspaper or magazine name and check the journal information for the ISSN.  It is not always as straightforward as the example below, but look for areas labeled "Journal Information" or "About the Journal" which are common places to find the ISSN.

The simple search is accessible from the Portal home page. It is a quick and efficient way to search and find ISSN records. The simple search may be refined further [see section  3.6. Search results and faceted search ].

3.2.1. What does the criteria “All” mean?

“ All ” is the criteria selected by default.  As a subscribing user:

The “All” search is performed on any field of the record, except coded fields (MARC21 008) and some administrative fields (MARC21 9XX). Therefore, this search covers for example the publisher field, the CODEN or the various note fields. A ranking by relevancy will prioritize which records are displayed: e.g. records where keywords are found in “title” fields will be given priority over those where the keywords are found in “note” fields. As a free user, the search is limited to the “Released ISSN data” fields [see section  2.3. What does Released ISSN data mean? ]. You can enter one or several words. By default, the words within the search box are associated by the Boolean operator AND. To search for an exact phrase and narrow your research, put the words into quotes.

3.2.2. How to search by “ISSN”?

As a subscribing user ,  the search by ISSN is performed on all ISSN fields, including the ISSN-L and the ISSNs found in linking entries (MARC21 022 and 7XX fields). As a free user, the search is performed only on the ISSN field (MARC21 022field ). You may enter the ISSN with or without the hyphen. The structural validity of the requested ISSN is checked. If you enter an invalid ISSN, you are informed that the requested number does not correspond to a valid ISSN. If you enter a cancelled ISSN, you will be informed of the valid ISSN (it will be indicated in the Identifiers frame on the left).

3.2.3. How to search by “Title”?

As a subscribing user , the search by title is performed on all title fields: key title, abbreviated key title, title proper, variant titles, and titles found in linking entries (MARC21 222, 210, 245, 246 and 7XX fields). As a free user, the search is limited to Confirmed records and to the key title and the proper title [see section  2.3. What does “Released ISSN data” mean? ].
