The periodicals area also houses a large collection of state, national, and international newspapers. The Microform reading area contains equipment needed to read and print microforms. The area to the right of the microform reading area houses the unbound periodicals. The unbound periodical collection contains the most recent journals in the humanities, social sciences, and selected life sciences. The Knight Foundation Newspaper Reading room directly overlooks University Drive.
Older issues are on microfilm and can be obtained from the periodicals desk.
The general reference collection contains materials that are factual in nature and designed to answer specific questions. Subject specific encyclopedias, English and foreign language dictionaries, biographical information, and indices to literary criticism are some of the information located in the general reference collection. The staff at the reference desk will gladly assist you with finding the information you need. Although reference materials do not circulate, pages may be photocopied.
