In order to locate any articles you want you will need to have the citation. You will also need to check the holdings information . The holdings information will tell you which libraries on campus subscribe to the periodical which published the article and how far back the subscription goes. By checking the holdings, you will find out whether the article is available on the campus and where it can be found. When you look at the holdings information, you should make note of the location and the call number of the periodical.
Some libraries separate current issues from older ones.
At the Undergraduate Library, current issues are kept on the 2nd floor in University Reserves. At the Graduate Library, the current issues are kept in Serials and Microform Services on the 2nd floor. If there are no holdings for a periodical that means none of the libraries subscribes to it. You can still get a copy of the article by using the Interlibrary Loan service. Remember, it often takes at least two weeks for an article to arrive.
