This method can help you locate readings from Funworld magazine.

Published by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), Funworld magazine is a popular choice for course readings. While the library carries Funworld in print and has back issues to 2001, Funworld articles from 2003-present are also available online. Here’s how to find them:

1. Go to the Funworld website: http://www.funworldmagazine.com
2. Click on Archives
3. Click directly into the issue and then into the appropriate article
4. You can now read the article online or print it out
5. For more assistance navigating the Funworld website, Ask a Rosen Librarian

Checking the Journal’s Web Site: As with Funworld magazine, a publisher will sometimes provide full-text of a journal or selected articles online. UCF may also have full-text privileges from a journal’s web site and the information has not yet been entered into the catalog or online journal subscription list. Use an Internet search engine (e.g., Google or All the Web) to search for the journal title or the complete citation.

Requesting the Article through Interlibrary Loan: If the journal that the article appears in is not subscribed to in any form by the University of Central Florida Libraries, the article may be obtained from another library through the libraries' Interlibrary Loan System (ILLIAD). Once you have electronically submitted an article request through the ILLIAD System, the Interlibrary Loan Department will route it to one of more than 9000 other libraries. If your request is filled, you will receive an electronic copy of the article through your Interlibrary Loan Account. Visit the Interlibrary Loan web page for more information or see our Rosen Research Guide about Interlibrary Loan.
