How to Find an Article in the Library Once You have a Citation
To see if the Library can provide access to a particular journal article, use the "Find Periodicals" box on the Library home page. Type in the title of the journal (not the title of the article within the journal).
Most of our print periodical backfiles are on the Upper Level, shelved alphabetically by title. Current issues are displayed on the Main Level behind the Reference area, arranged in broad subject areas.
Students may also obtain copies of articles from journals to which the library does not subscribe through our intrasystem loan service. Fees may apply.
