You can discover these journals in the Marriott Library by going to the Library Catalog and typing  the journal's title in the search box. TIP: Checking the print volumes as well as the online subscription will provide more comprehensive information about the volumes in the library. The subscriptions may not overlap. You can check by using the "View Resource" link or the "Locations & Request" link, which ever is present.

1. Type in the name of the journal in the search box.
2. Limit the results to Journals (on the sidebar at the left).

4. If the journal is electronically available, click on the link which will take you out of the library (this is the "View Resource" link.
5. If the journal volume is not available online, click the "Locations 7 Request" link, then the "Arc Click Request" to see if the Marriott Library has the volume in print. You will need to be logged into your "My Account" in Usearch.
