Thanks for the tip.  Let me try the other library branch then
Looks like you were searching for a periodical entitled:
Journal of housing for the elderly. We don’t carry
this title, but here are some suggestions:
• You can try interlibrary loan (takes about 2-3 days)
• Or you can recommend that we purchase this title
for the library (may take a couple months)
•
Tip: In the future, you can use “(t: <title name>)” to
try to locate a resource by its title
