The Periodical Holdings List is an alphabetical listing of all the journals, magazines, and newspapers owned by the Blume Library. Periodical titles can also be searched on the online catalog . The Coral Union List of Periodicals lists the periodical holdings of the Blume Library as well as the libraries of colleges, universities, and special libraries in the San Antonio area. These periodicals on microform are also arranged alphabetically by journal title within these cabinets. Since 1964, the Blume Library has been a selective depository for both United States and Texas documents.
Some documents are available only on microfiche.
These are stored in the government documents microfiche cabinets also located on the main floor. Documents may be checked out by St. Mary's University students, faculty and staff for standard loan periods through the Circulation Department on the main floor of the Blume Library, except for those publications restricted to reference use. Government Documents are arranged by the Superintendent of Documents system of classification. This system groups together documents by their issuing government agency, NOT by their subject. Assistance in locating these materials may be obtained at the Reference Desk.
