You can type in the title or ISSN of a geography journal using the search box at the top of the page, browse for journals by title using the alphabet in the middle of the page, or browse by subject. If you browse by subject, you can narrow down your results further by selecting subtopics or publishers.

The dates provided for each database under the journal title tell you the full text access range for that database. If you click on the database title, it will open the journal page within that database, and you can do a keyword search to find relevant articles or browse specific issues.
