formats: print, electronic, cd-rom, microfiche, and microfilm. An online source to help you interpret
a journal title abbreviation is
All That JAS. If you
are searching for individual articles within a journal,
visit the Engineering,
Scientific, & Technical Databases page, or the UW Libraries Databases and Catalogs page.

Obtaining articles not owned by the UW Libraries

Note: Only current UW faculty, students, or
staff (excluding Health Sciences or Law users) are eligible to receive free
delivery of articles or conference papers not available in the UW
Libraries and needed for university related research or coursework.

Used to recommend that the UW Libraries purchase the journal for its
collection.
