PASL gives which years of a title are in on microfilm or microfiche. You can also ask a librarian at the reference desk or a staff person in the periodicals area. The reference desk staff can help with this. The staff at the desk can help you with making copies. Books are useful when you need in-depth information about a topic.
Reference books are useful for background, factual or statistical information.
If you aren't sure which to use, ask a reference librarian at the first floor desk in the library. This page is maintained by Judith Van Noate . It is part of the J. Murrey Atkins Library Virtual Tour and was last updated on July 29, 1997.
