Telephone - For extremely urgent requests, network libraries can be reached by telephone. While it might not be possible to answer questions at the time of the call, quick turnaround can be expected. Telephone numbers and Washington hours of operation are included in the Network Guide . Full-text news stories and magazine articles can be provided. The Joint Library posts the tables of contents of over 100 major economics journals on its web site .
Contents are updated weekly.
Lending Policies Journal articles - If the requested journal issue is available, a library will normally photocopy the article and send by pouch. If the request includes more than five articles, items should be prioritized to assist in processing. The library will process the list in the indicated order and dispatch materials as soon as available rather than batching all items together. Requests for material available in other network libraries will be forwarded. When an individual library cannot provide the requested material, you will be notified.
