However, searching journal titles in the online catalog can be tricky due to the large size of the database and the variant entries used for certain journal titles. Be sure to check the holdings to make sure the library owns the volume you need and to determine whether it is in storage, in the Chemistry Library Journal Area, or on a computer disk. Not all serials are journals and therefore shelved in the Bound Journal Area. If the location is given as Blgtn Chemistry Library Stacks instead of Blgtn Chemistry Lib Bound Journal, it will be found by call number in Circulating Book Area which is down the hall to the left of the Circulation Desk. An example is a review serial that can be found by searching electron spin resonance or annual review of physical chemistry.
Some journals change titles, merge or are absorbed by other journals.
This leads to multiple library records. These are done as a keyword search. The Chemistry Library staff is always glad to help explain the various techniques for finding journal locations and holdings. This information is at the end of the holdings section. These will be retrieved after a request is made, usually within one or two days.
