In any of your searching, if you identify an item not owned by the library or accessible through our databases, you can request a copy through Interlibrary Loan. There are three ways to do this:

• Use one of the paper forms available at the Circulation Desk
• Use the web form available at http://www.lawrence.edu/library/ill/.
• Use FindIt.

To save yourself time, ask a reference librarian for assistance and advice in finding and obtaining your articles. Librarians can also help you make the best use possible of Interlibrary Loan.

Search LUCIA using the Guided Search option. Search for chemistry and set the Material type to Serials. You will get a list of our paper and electronic subscriptions.

Try looking at the Journal Articles link from the library home page at
http://www.lawrence.edu/library/research/articles.shtml and use these:

• FindIt: search for specific titles. Locates paper journals in the library and electronic full text from a number of our databases.
• e-Journal Find: search for specific titles of electronic journals. The category browse lets you look for journals in chemistry.

The best index to use will depend on your topic. Be sure to check the Electronic Resources page for other options.

Once you have a citation for an article on your topic, try using the button or search FindIt to see if that particular article is available. If you don't find it, you can submit a request for interlibrary loan (ILL) of a copy of the article: ILL takes about 7-10 days, so plan ahead. See the library's Interlibrary Loan page for more information.

Don't forget that the library still receives a significant number of publications in paper; these are housed on Level A (between the first and second floors of the library). FindIt will indicate items received in paper with a line that says Check for a print copy in LUCIA.

Go to the Electronic Resources page. There is a long list of databases. You may want to go directly to the list of databases for the Sciences. A few to try include these:
