Please note that the majority of the library stock is now catalogued on OLIS and the card index should be consulted only as a last resort. Please see the layout of the library to help you locate material. Pamphlets are located at the end of the relevant sequences in both the Upper and Lower library. The Library receives a selection of periodicals on subjects relevant to the Department's courses. All current issues are displayed in the Jessup Reading Room until the next issue arrives to replace them.
All periodicals are reference only .
Back issues are mainly located in the Lower Library and are arranged alphabetically by title within subject areas. Back issues of newspaper style periodicals are kept in the Reading Room and the Local Studies periodicals in the Upper Library. Details of our holdings are not on OLIS, but can be found in the Periodicals Handlists in the Upper Library and Reading Room. Details of periodicals and individual issues currently being received can be obtained by asking the Library staff who can check the current registers. The Reference Collection is housed in the Jessup Reading Room and contains encyclopedias, dictionaries, directories, atlases and bibliographies.
