  • If you find an appropriate title, use the Related Records tab located on the top of a catalog record to get to all the items with the same subject headings.

(Scholarly/Peer Reviewed/Refereed articles have been reviewed by a selected panel of experts in the discipline covered by that journal).

• Journal Finder: this provides information regarding if a journal is available full-text online, in print in the library, or available on microfilm.
• Interlibrary Loan: allows studens to borrow a book or article that the Potter library does not own. There is a link from the Journal Finder page.

Both of these links can be found under QUICK LINKS on the library's homepage.
