Theology Periodicals

at the Blume Library

 

Periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers) in print are located on the First (Basement) Floor of the Blume Library and are arranged alphabetically by periodical (source) title. The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) is listed here only for identification purposes. It is not a location tool.

This is not a comprehensive list of periodicals at St. Mary's University.

  • Indexes with a + (plus) preceding their name are available off-campus only to current St. Mary's students, faculty, and staff, due to contractual restrictions from the vendors. For more information, read Restricted Databases Instructions.
