Some pre-1970 journals are located in the Welch Annex. You can enter Stack Level 4 from the second floor of Welch and Stack Level 1 from the basement. If the issue or volume is not on the shelf, there are several other places to look. Check the JHU Libraries Catalog for information such as location, receipt of issues, if the journal is at the bindery, circulation status, and notes about title changes. The issue or volume may be in the photocopier room, on a cart next to the photocopier room, in the process of being shelved, on a table somewhere in the library, or in-use by another patron.
Some journals circulate for one week with four renewals.
