The aisle closest to the Computer Room contains reference materials and indexes relating to information studies. Some materials are older examples of major reference sources such as encyclopedias and dictionaries. Next to the Reference materials you will find the Professional Collection, which contains books which relate to the field of librarianship and information science. The next two aisles hold the Bound Periodicals, which consist of older, bound journals. These are arranged alphabetically by title.
Bound periodicals circulate for a one day period.
As you walk towards the windows you will find the Current Periodicals Collections. Most of the journals found here are less than a year old. The journals are arranged alphabetically by title, and a directory of current journals received on subscription is attached to the front of the shelf. If you walk all the way down one of the professional aisles you will come to the Compact Shelving units which contain foreign language journals, duplicate copies of bound periodicals and some rarely used books and bound periodicals. If you are looking for older, library-related material, you may enjoy browsing this area.
