Remember that the Journal Finder link is designed to take you to lists of journals, so you can see if we have either a print or electronic subscription. When you use the LinkSource option in a database, it is searching our journals list to see if we have the article you want.

If you need an article from the database ScienceDirect be sure and fill out a request form. You'll find this form linked from the ScienceDirect page to which you are directed by the Journal Finder result for your journal title.

What about print journals in the library?  Get the call number from our catalog and locate the bound journals in compact shelving on the first floor. The newest issues will be on the second floor near the stairs--also shelved by call number.

Remember that articles not directly available from a database or the Journals link may be requested through Interlibrary Loan.
