The 
(Get JMU Access) button can help you find out if JMU owns or has access to what you are looking for. If there is no button or if it is not working, here's what you should do:
- Contact us at Ask the Library or request the item through Interlibrary Loan
- If you want to search yourself, here are some strategies
- For journal articles, look up the first few words of your journal title (not article title) on the Journals page and click on the links offering access.
- For example, if the citation for the article you need is "Amato, Paul R. "Parental Divorce," Psychological Bulletin. 1991 Jul Vol 110(1) 26-46," you should search for Psychological Bulletin.
- Once you find the periodical, you'll need to click on a link to access the journal. From there, you can search for your article.
- For a book, search the JMU Library Catalog which will tell you whether or not JMU has access to it. If we don't have it in our collection you can most likely get the book through Interlibrary Loan.
- For journal articles, look up the first few words of your journal title (not article title) on the Journals page and click on the links offering access.
