Journal Articles (pre-1990) are bound in the PERIODICALS area (we do maintain current print subscriptions to many of our journals even though most are now available through the library databases. If you come across an older citation (usually prior to 1990) and the journal article is not available in fulltext through our databases, our LIBRARY CATALOG HOLDINGS will indicate whether we have the journal in our PERIODICALS LOCATION. To locate the journal in print, you will need the full citation (title, author, volume number, issue number, year, page numbers) and the CALL NUMBER.

The Librarian's Office if on the left when you exit the elevator. Come in, have a cup of coffee, and let's do research!
