Obtaining books not owned by the Library
The fastest way to get books not owned by the Library is to use e-requests for intercampus, WRLC, or inter-library loans.

Finding a journal or magazine
Do a title search in the Library Catalog (under Journal Title) for the journal or magazine you want. All print and electronic journals are listed in the Catalog. Also, search e-journals for full-text, electronic copies of a journal.
