    The GolfStream application has examples of getting journal information. Here is a snippet:

    Dim journalID as Guid = CType(args.Inputs(0), Guid)
Dim journal as JournalEx = BRApi.Journals.Metadata.GetJournalOrTemplate(si, journalID)

    From there you can get the journal name like this:

    Dim jourName as String = journal.Header.Header.Name

    It also has examples of how to get user information if si.UserName is not what you want.
