Note the Electronic Access links that appear before the first library listing. This indicates that some portion of the journal is available electronically. To find out if the volume/article that you are looking for is available electronically, click on one of the Electronic Access links.

The most important information to note is the Location and Holdings information listed under each library. This information tells you where to find the journal and indicates the volumes or years of the journal that are located at each of the Rutgers University Libraries.

The notation of "Current" in the Location line indicates that a particular library is currently receiving the journal. The associated Holdings line lists the most recently received issues. In this case, the Alexander, Camden, and Dana Libraries all currently receive the Journal of Popular Culture. Alexander Library, whose "Bound" Holdings listing indicates that it began receiving the journal with volume 1 (1968), has the most complete holdings.

Note that Camden and Douglass also have some issues of the Journal of Popular Culture in microfilm format.

NOTE: You must enter the entire title or the first few words of the title of the journal in order to search IRIS. If you need help deciphering an abbreviation for a journal title, please speak with a reference librarian, or write to Ask A Librarian.
