Locating Journals
Find out if the Library subscribes to the journal you need through the Journals page. Type in the name of the journal you are looking for (NOT the name of the article!) and if ZSR subscribes to the journal, the catalog will display information on how to access it, whether in print or electronically.
Current dance periodicals are located in the Reference Department on Wilson 4, shelved in alphabetical order by title.
Remember, if ZSR does not have the journal (or book) that you need, request it via Interlibrary Loan.
