The FVCC library has the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature which for years, was the mainstay of periodical indexing. It is still used here for articles published during the time period of 1890 through 1986. These titles are not indexed in the Reader's Guide to Periodicals or elsewhere, so you need to look here for topics associated with our state. The sheer volume of things written has caused libraries to move into the microform format for storing back issues of periodicals. The microfiche copies are kept in the metal filing cabinet near the index area.
Cost is five cents per page and is paid at the circulation desk.
Don't forget to turn the microfiche reader OFF when you are done. If the periodical you need is in hard copy, this will be located alphabetically and chronologically in the stacks behind the current display. The library has a modest collection of maps and atlases for your use in the reference area. These do not circulate. The collection centers around a core of over 300 United States Geological Survey topographic maps of Northwest Montana.
