How do I Find a journal in the library?

 

When you already know the journal title,  the quickest way to find it is by searching the Library Catalog.
Using the Journal Title Keyword search, enter your journal title and press the button. Your search box should look like the dummy box below:

 

Search:   General Keyword Title Alphabetical Title Keyword Journal Title Alphabetical Journal Title Keyword Author Alphabetical Author Keyword Subject Alphabetical Subject Keyword Series Alphabetical Series Keyword ISBN ISSN Notes Place of Publication Publisher Internet Access Library of Congress Call Numbers

 

The catalog will identify the years and volumes owned by the library in all print formats:

Unbound, microfiche, and microfilm volumes are located on the Main Floor, while bound volumes can be found on the Ground Floor. All volumes are arranged alphabetically.
