Finding Books and Journals
- A large number of our journals are available as e-only.
- Current print issues of many literary journals are in the Current Periodicals area on M-level, shelved in the shelves by call number.
- Some current issues are shelved in the shelves, as are recent older issues.
- Print copies of older issues may also be stored at the Libraries Service Center. You can request the journal issue be brought to the library for pick-up or you can request a free scan of the article.
- Find the call numbers you need by searching Catalyst by journal title and limit format to "journal/newspaper."
- If we do not have access to an article you need, you can request a copy for free via ILL.
Literary works can be found in the shelves of the Eisenhower Library in the call number ranges below.
