Does the NCSU Libraries Have the Book or Journal?
Journals.
A. While you are searching the database.
Many of our databases are enabled to provide links to the library's journal holdings. If you see a red and white rectangular button that says FindText@NCSU within a record for a journal article, click on the button. A new window will pop up, containing information that will tell you if the library has electronic access directly to the article or if we have the journal in print.
B. If you have already left the database.
After using one of the indexes/databases above to find references on your topic,
search by title in the NCSU
Libraries catalog to find out if the library has the journal or publication
that you need; search for the journal title (not
the title of the article). Use the Journals List to
locate electronic versions of the journal that you need.
- From the catalog:
First, at the search box labeled "Search begins with...," select "Journal
Title begins with..." from the pull-down menu.
Then type in the complete title of the journal-- Example: nature
Click on the Search button.
Then, click on the hyperlink next to the journal's name to get to the journal's
catalog record. Example: Nature. 2 entries
The catalog record will have the call number for locating the journal in the
library. Example: Nature's call number is Q1 .N2
Books.
You can also use the NCSU Libraries catalog to search for books available
in the library. You can search the catalog by author, title, subject
or keyword. The NCSU Libraries catalog is available on workstations
near the Reference desk and from the NCSU Libraries Web site.
If the NCSU Libraries does not have the book or journal that you
need:
-
Fill out an Interlibrary Loan request through Tripsaver.
(Ask at the Reference Desk for assistance.) Through the Tripsaver
service, books and articles from Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill and NCCU
can be obtained within 2-3 days. Books and articles from other
institutions will take longer to obtain.
-
Check out books from Duke, NCCU, or UNC-Chapel Hill.
NCSU students, faculty, and staff are eligible for borrowing privileges
at the libraries of three other major universities in the Triangle--Duke
University, NC Central University, and the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, all members of the Triangle Research Libraries Network.
A valid NCSU ID is required to establish privileges when visiting
another TRLN library. You may also be asked to access profile information
in your NCSU library account (i.e.,"My Borrowing Record") using a
PIN number. The list of participating libraries and information such
as hours of operation, directions, and circulation policies is available
on the TRLN
Web site. It is best to check this page for the policies of the
library you are visiting before making a trip there.
