Newspapers and Current Periodicals

Current newspapers are located in Reserve within the Reading Room. They are kept for a limited time, and may not be checked out. Older issues of some newspapers are archived on microfilm on the Lower Level, and some titles and time periods are available electronically. 


Periodicals

Current print periodicals are displayed in call number order in the Reading Room. They are kept there for a limited time, and then prepared to be bound. Current periodicals may be checked out for seven days at the Circulation Desk.

 

Once single issues are bound together in a volume, they are shelved in Ablah Stacks according to call number. Check the Online Catalog for library holdings and availability. Bound periodicals may be checked out for seven days at the Circulation Desk.
