Q. Why can't I get the current issue of a journal electronically?

The current issue of an electronic journal may be restricted for a variety of reasons:

• Publisher's embargo (deliberately not published electronically for a specified amount of time)
• Perpetual access to back issues is not necessarily available even though there is a current subscription
• Issue not printed or electronically uploaded by journal or publisher on time
• Link to issue or database not working
•  

To get an article from a current issue of a particular journal:

• Search for the current issue in print format
  • Start at library.unm.edu
  • Select the Journals tab on the left
  • Enter the name of the journal
  • Click on the first option
  • In the right-side pop-up pane, scroll down until you see Print Copies at Your Library
• Go to Interlibrary Loan page to request an electronic copy
