IIL and Document Delivery- when you don't find either at U-M or open access articles

Steps to follow if you don't find the journals which include the articles you need at the U-M Library.

1. Try Google Scholar to see if any PDF files would be available online.

2. Search the WorldCat to see if other libraries in North America or in Japan have. Make sure the holding information by checking the institution library homepage. They may have other volumes, but not the volume which you need.

3. Request from the WorldCat: Include OCLC # of the journal for faster, accurate delivery.
