Can't Find Your Article?

Sometimes the article you are looking for simply isn't available either online or on the shelves of the library. What to do then?

Getting an Electronic Copy from the Annex

If the journal volume you need is located in the Library Annex, you can request that a copy of the article be scanned and delivered electronically or that the actual volume be brought back from the Annex for you to use.

For this example, let's say you're looking for volume 4 (1980) of the journal Administration in Social Work. Here's the ALICE screen for this journal:

1. Click on this button to have the actual volume of the journal brought back from the Annex. For more info, see below
2. This part of the screen summarizes the volumes that are in the Library Annex
3. This part lists each individual volume kept in the Annex (or elsewhere)

1. author of the article
2. title of the article
3. title of the periodical in which the article was published
4. volume and issue numbers of the article
5. date of publication
6. pages

Journal Not Anywhere at Ohio University

If Ohio University simply doesn't have the journal you need in printed copy, online, or in microform, you should request it via ILLiad. You will need the same citation information as outlined above.
