I need an article from an old periodical. How do I find out if you have it?

Answer

You may be able to find older periodicals (magazines, journals, and newspapers) in print at the libraries or digitally through our subscription databases.  Here are a couple of ways to do this:

  1. Use the Journal Lookup in Primo to search for a periodical by title or by ISSN. The search results will tell you whether we have the periodical in print or if it is available through one of the databases.  Some issues may only be available on microform (microfilm or microfiche). We have a special microform viewer in the Hultquist Library. Ask a Librarian for assistance with using the viewer.
  2. If you have a full or partial citation for an article, use the Citation Lookup in Primo and enter as much information as you can about the article you are looking for.
  3. If you can't find the periodical through either of the first two options, you can try sending for the article from another library by entering the citation information into the Interlibrary Loan form or by contacting the Circulation Desk at your campus library.
