If the eJournals Portal doesn’t have full-text for the article you need, the next step is to search for a print copy using the library’s online catalog.

From the KSL home page, click the online catalog link.

The publication volume and issue you need may be available in print at Case Libraries.

If so, you can retrieve the volume and make an article copy on-site at the library.

If Case Libraries doesn’t have a print or electronic version of the article, the third step is to request a copy through Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary loan services are available from the Borrowing link in the Services drop-down menu on the KSL homepage.
