Your search will bring you to a listing of INFORMS journals available at your institution.The list will show the name of the journal, institution name, and subscription expiration date. If you see a title missing you think your institution should have, please take the next step.
- Click on "Send Recommendation" to fill out the form and recommend additional INFORMS journals to the librarian at your institution. Please include the full email address of the librarian that you would like to receive this form. You may write the complete name of the librarian in the comment box.
