Using the Article Locator is as easy as picking up a magazine, finding the number for the article you want (located at the bottom of each article in the magazine), visiting this page and entering your number.

Each Locator ID is made up of a series of numbers and letters. The prefix is the issue number denominator, like 1425, 1426 or 1501. Following this is the article type and number identifier, such as f1, ws2 or colpreston. For example, if you have an article locator of 1501f1, you will be retrieving the first feature story from the 1501 (January 22nd, 2004) issue.
