JOURNALS @ F&M and INTERLIBRARY LOAN
To determine whether or not the F&M Library owns a journal, use the RESOURCES >> JOURNALS
feature on the library's web site. If the library does not have access to the journal you need, and you have at least 1 week - 10 days before your assignment is due, you can submit an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request to have
the journal article acquired for you by the library. Allow 3-7 days for the article to arrive.
