Find journals
Use Locate
E-Town Journals to see which journals you can get. Some titles are
within the High Library itself (in print, microfiche, or microfilm), others
are available electronically in various databases. If the journal is held,
check to see if the dates you need are available. This is a powerful gateway
to about 33,000 titles!
If the periodical you want is in microfilm or microfiche, you can order
copies of the articles online by using ILLiad Click
on Request an Article and fill out the form. You will receive an email with
a link when the article is available, usually within 24-48 hours (M-F).
Articles that are not available either in the library or in library
databases can be ordered on interlibrary loan, through ILLiad.
ILL can take anywhere from 3-5 business days, on average.
