Once you have the journal information, your journal can be found on the ground floor of the library. The Serials Desk on the ground floor of Stapleton Library can also provide assistance if needed.

What is the best alternative to getting my book if the library owns it, but it is checked out or I can't find it?
If the book is checked out, missing, or lost, the system will allow you to order it through PALCI, which can be found on the Library home page. The book will be here in three to five days.
If you cannot find a book that you need, fill out a "Book Search Form," or ask for a supervisor to help you look. If it is not found, "Missing" will be put in the record, which will allow you to order the book through PALCI. If it is not available through PALCI, you will be prompted to pursue ordering the book through our Interlibrary Loan system. If this is your first time using Interlibrary Loan, you will be prompted to create an account first.
