If the professor asks you to read an article not on reserve begin by clicking the Journal Titles tab on the library's home page. Type the name of the journal, the Journal of Biomechanics for example, in the search box. Once you have found the journal title consult the owned beginning and ending dates of that journal. Pick a date range that contains the date of the article you are looking for. Then find the location.
