How to get  JOURNAL ARTICLES

STEP 1: Please check our E-Journals link (choose the first letter of the journal title) to see whether the year of the journal is available electronically. If your title, or the year that you need, doesn't appear, please check the Libraries catalog for additional online links. 
 
STEP 2: If you cannot get the item online and the catalog says that the volume is in the Bloomberg Reading Room, Reading Room staff will photocopy articles from journals and will fax them to you within 4 business hours of receiving the request.
