Locating Books, Journals and Newspapers Online Or In Print

If an article is not available in the database you're using, search for the title of the journal or newspaper in the Print & E-Journals A-Z List.  

If you've found a record for a book, journal or newspaper in MIDCAT, follow these steps: 1) Look at the column labeled "Location."  The Armstrong (Science) Library is in McCardell-Bicentennial Hall.  The Main Library is on Storrs Avenue. The Music Library is in the Center for the Arts. 2) Once you're in the library, find out where the call number (see the column labeled "Call No.") is located. Ask for assistance at any desk.  

If a book, journal or newspaper is not available at Middlebury then you may request it from another library through Interlibrary Loan.
