Back Issues of
Magazines:
The Library keeps back issues of most magazines received. Some of magazines are
retained in paper format, while others are kept on microfiche. The periodicals in paper
are kept in the back of the Stacks arranged alphabetically by title.
Periodicals on microfiche can be requested at the Circulation Desk. We have a
microfiche reader/printer that can be used to view and make copies of articles on
microfiche.
