The volumes kept in microformat are kept in a closed area. Go to the desk in the Microforms Department to request these items. If you are unable to locate the periodical you are looking for, ask staff at the Periodicals Desk for assistance. Periodicals not owned by the U of M Libraries may be available in other local libraries. Ask at the Periodicals Desk for assistance in locating other libraries that may own them or in getting copies from other sources.
Some periodicals are available electronically.
U of M students, staff and faculty may use the Interlibrary Loan Service to obtain copies of articles from periodicals our library does not own. Periodicals are not checked out of the library. There are many places in the library where you may comfortably read and take notes. If you want a personal copy, you may use one of several copiers located in the library. Photocopy machines are located in both the Periodicals Department and in the Microforms Department.
