How to distinguish types of periodicals

• Animal Science journal indexes
• Extension publications
• All indexes available to NDSU students and staff. Browse Databases by title or subject

Getting Articles

If not automatically linked from the index you are using:

• Check if NDSU has electronic access. Go to our e-journal page (soon to be replaced by a new version) and search by the title of the journal.
• If there is no electronic access, search our Online Catalog. For those you find be sure to check holdings details to see if the issues you need are here and available. Issues dated more recent than July 2000, and microfiche/microfilm are in the Main Library. Issues dated before July 2000 are in storage: use our PULL Service to acquire the item.
• If NDSU does not own the title, or if the issue you need is lost due to the flood, use our InterLibrary Loan service .
