Embargo

Sometimes when looking up specific journals, you may encounter messages such as, "Most current 1 year not available." Or "Most current 1 year, 3 months not available." Etc. This means there is an embargo on the journal: the publisher has restricted access in an effort to get you or the institution to pay additional fees for access to its most recent material. You'll be able to reach what comes before the embargo period, but not what falls during it. However, you may still be able to get embargoed material through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) here.
