The Periodicals Collection contains journals, magazines, and newspapers. There are over 7,000 periodical titles in this and other Library collections. Look around at the volumes on the shelves. Although they look like books, they are actually journals and magazines bound together with a hard cover. We call them Bound periodicals.
Bound periodicals are older issues of magazines and journals, and are shelved by call number.
Consult your map to determine the call number arrangement for periodicals. 3C. Preshelving contains shelves where our staff sorts out materials throughout the day before placing them back on the regular shelves. If you cannot find the item you need on the shelf, check preshelving. You'll also find a preshelving area on the 6th floor. The Current periodicals section will have the latest issues of journals, magazines and newspapers.
