4.    Online Journals - To see a journal that is available online, click on its checkmark link  () under Full Text Access. The link should take you directly to the online journal where you can locate your article.  If you are off-campus, you will need a valid username and password to view most online articles.  Some online journal articles are not available from off-campus due to vendor or technical barriers.

5.    Print Holdings - To see which volumes of a journal title the library holds, click on the checkmark link  () under Print Holdings.  The link will take you to the title's entry in cataLyst, the library's catalog (Sometimes instead of a single entry, a results list will appear).  Scroll down through the entry to find the location of the journal and the library's holdings.  Most bound and unbound journals are on the library's second floor.
