I Am Looking For A Specific Journal

Search in the library catalog IUCAT for the title. If we have the journal, it will show up as an "Online Resource," as a "Journal/Periodical" (print), or as both.

Click on the item title to see the full record. This will show you where to access the item, as well as the publication years available. Be sure the publication years available match what you need.

Items available electronically will have a link associated with the Bloomington campus.

Items available in print will have a location and call number. To find the journal on the shelf, write down the call number or text it to your phone.

If the item is only available in print on another campus, click the Request This button to have the item delivered to an IUB library.

If the relevant journal issue is unavailable on other campuses as well, request a specific journal article through Interlibrary Loan
