Handouts explaining how to use each index are available at the reference desk and on the Library website. Some indexes maybe accessed only from on campus and some maybe accessed from off campus either because they are universally available or through an authentication procedure that assures that only Boise State students, faculty and staff can access them. For assistance with indexes, abstracting services, and electronic indexes, ask at the reference desk. Periodicals may not be renewed. There is no grace period.
Graduate students have the same check out privilege as faculty for periodicals.
The newspaper collection is found on the first floor. Recent issues are housed in the Current Periodicals Room. Paper copies are kept only for a limited time. Those that have research value are replaced by microfilm editions. Ask at the circulation desk for assistance in locating recent copies of newspapers or in the Microform Room for copies on microfilm.
