Search the library catalog for the *journal title* (not the article title).

This will tell you if the library subscribes to the journal in print or online. If we do not subscribe to the journal you will see a title browse list, with the text “your entry __________ would be here”. You can place an Interlibrary Loan request for articles in journals we do not subscribe to.

If we do subscribe to the journal it may come in several different formats: microfiche, microfilm, current periodicals, bound periodicals and full-text online.

Graduate students, faculty and staff may check out current and bound periodicals for 2 days. All other users must use the periodicals in the library (photocopiers are available).

Learn how to search for articles at Get Started Researching.

Bound Journals are located on the second floor. See the map.

Current Journals and Current Magazines and Newspapers are located on the first floor, near the entrance to Port City Java.  See the map.
