It is hardbound, and your library might well have put it in the stacks with the ecology and systematics books, rather than periodicals. Check that out. And then, if they still don't have it, ask to look at a copy of "The Union List of Serials"; it will tell you what libraries in the world (or the U.S. and Canada, if it's the restricted version) carry particular journals. You have to know the CORRECT abbreviation for the journal, which in this case is, I think: Ann. Rev. Ecol. Syst. (Anybody want to correct that?) The Union List is a critical resource, and every scientist ought to know how to use one -- I can't count the number of RELEVANT, but DIFFICULT TO FIND articles that I tracked down using the Union List and InterLibrary Loan.
