ContentsFirst , a companion database, allows you to search the table of contents by the title of the journal. See the FirstSearch database handout for the names of the databases. Any La Salle University faculty member, administrator, staff member, or currently enrolled student may use FirstSearch. This is a system which the Connelly Library pays for by the search, so we must restrict its use. Students must sign an agreement form at the library's Information Desk before receiving the password.
