How Do I Understand a Journal Record in the ALADIN Catalog?
Although you can't find an individual article in the catalog, you can find a journal and then see if we have it for the year in which your article was published. Here's an example of a journal record. (Or click on the graphic at right and then click on the circled areas for explanations.)
To Find a Journal on the Shelf
Step 1 All journals are located on the 3rd floor of Gelman, shelved alphabetically. Make sure you notice if the journal is in print or in microfilm or microfiche. Here is a floor plan of the 3rd floor.
Step 2
Current print journals are shelved individually on the shelves to the left of the elevators, closer to the study rooms. Older print issues are bound and are on the shelves to the right of the elevators, towards the windows that look out on 22nd Street. Journals in microfilm or microfiches are organized by title and year in the metal file cabinets directly in front of you when you walk through the glass doors.
Step 3
You can make copies of both print and microfilm/microfiche articles, but you can't check out journals.
