Getting Journal Articles

To obtain a copy of a journal article after you have found the bibliographic information from a journal index such as Zashi Kiji Sakuin (in print or database format) and/or from “References” or “Bibliography” in a book or another article, etc. If the article is published in an academic publication such as kiyō (紀要), you may check  the article in JAIRO whether or not its full text is available. Otherwise, try the following steps:

  1. Go to CLIO (Columbia Library Information Online) to see if the journal and the issue in which the article was published is available in one of the Columbia libraries.
  2. If the journal and the issue is available, get the journal/issue; if the journal issue is located offsite, you may request a copy of the article, by clicking the “offsite” button and filling in the "Electronic" form.
  3. If the journal is not held by Columbia, go to the  ILL (interlibrary loan) page to request a copy of the journal article. 

Note: Columbia is a member of GIF (Global ILL Framework), which allows us to request a copy of a journal article from GIF member libraries in Japan.
