Follow the steps below:

  • Make a note of the full citation (volume, title, page, year) eg. 33 Fed. L. Rev. 391 (2005)
  • Find the journal title abbreviation in one of the abbreviations lists (see below) ie.  Fed. L. Rev is the Federal Law Review
  • to find if it is available ONLINE search Full text e-journals by journal title
    • Select the database that covers the date range you require
    • Browse or search for your article
  • to find if it is available in PRINT (often older journals) search the Catalogue for the title of the journal
  • Check which ANU library holds the journal and note the call number
