LOCATING YOUR JOURNAL IN THE UNT LIBRARIES

Journals may be located in any of these four UNT Libraries locations:

• Willis Library ~ current periodicals/journals (1s floor) or bound periodicals/journals (lower level)
  
• Science and Technology Library (Information Sciences Building)
• Media Library (Chilton Hall)
• Remote Storage (Libraries Annex)

Journals are shelved in alphabetical order by their titles. A journal title that appears as an abbreviation is shelved at the beginning of the section starting with that letter of the alphabet. (Example: CSF Notebook is shelved in the C section before Cable T.V. and New Media, Law & Finance.)

New or current journals are shelved separately from bound journals. If you cannot find the journal issue you need, check the UNT Library Catalog or ask for help at the nearest Service or Reference Desk .

REMOTE STORAGE

Older journals and periodicals may be located in Remote Storage, an off-campus library storage facility.  These items may be requested electronically via the World Wide Web by using the Library Materials Delivery Request and check the "Remote Storage" box. Or by completing in person a request form at the General Circulation Desk in Willis Library, the Circulation Desk in the Science and Technology Library, or the Circulation Desk in the Media Library.

Materials are generally retrieved within 24 hours with a limit of 5 volumes per person at one time.. (Please note, however, that no retrievals are made on weekends or holidays.)
