You may also find useful articles using some of the other library resources, such as Academic Search Elite. A list of databases and online journals is available online.
Once you've identified your articles, use Illinet Online to determine if the library owns the journal in print or in microfilm. There is no list of the accounting journals that the library subscribes to. However, you can do a search in Illinet Online using the subject keywords "accounting" and "periodicals" (or the exact subject "accounting--periodicals") to find out what the library holds in print and in microfilm. Because there are also journals available electronically, you'll want to check Journals and Magazines Available Online for electronic access to journals.
If you cannot find an article at Elmhurst, you can request it through our online Interlibrary Loan article request form.
