Find an article that we only have in print in the library catalog? If an article is only available in print, library staff will scan the article and send it to you.

Help Guide: Requesting Copies of Articles the Library has in Print

1. Check the e-journals list to make sure we don't have the article online 
2. Check the library catalog to make sure we have a print subscription to the journal for the dates you need.
   
3. Complete the request form.
