Penn State subscribes to over 100+ databases...So how the heck can you ever figure out which one provides access to the journal that you want?
Visit JAKE (I do, almost daily!) Type a journal title into JAKE, and it will show you all of the commerical electronic databases that provide access to your journal in citation form or full-text. Armed with your knowledge from JAKE, your next step is to visit the PSU Libraries' E-Resource list, and see if we subscribe to one of the databases listed as having your journal.
Of course, if this is too cumbersome a process, you could always email me for help!
(Reminder to self to update the JAKE link on the Libraries' CAS pages.)

CIOS also provides an up-to-date listing of the Tables of Contents from current Communication journals.
What I like best about this service is that you can see the major subject areas of each new article, enabling you to immediately search for other articles in the CIOS database on that topic.

A great page for multiple sources of information on SARS:
KU Medical Center--Dykes Library--SARS Information
(I wonder how long that link will stay current. If you find that it's outdated, do a Google search on Dykes and library and SARS.)
