Materials at another Pace library may be ordered via Intercampus Loan; check "Request" to the right of the record. CALL NO. shows where an item is shelved. STATUS indicates an item is currently available, checked out, missing, etc. 

Journal entries indicate the bound volumes the library has and latest issue received. Bound volumes and current issues are on the first stack level in call number order. Pre-1996 journals are in storage; request at the Circulation Desk. Many are also available from HeinOnLine. Online journals have "Online" after the title. Click to see how they may be accessed.
