Periodicals

Watson Library subscribes to a number of Newspapers and Journals. The most recent issue is usually kept in the newspaper area. All newspapers are kept for at least 2 months. The New York Times is kept until the microfilm is received. Back issues of newspapers are shelved between government documents & bound periodicals.
This year's journal issues are shelved alphabetically by title in the current periodicals section. Previous year's issues are shelved alphabetically by title in the bound periodicals section. Some are on microfilm or
microfiche. Journals may not be checked out. They must be used in the library or photocopied. Two photocopiers are located on the first floor. Special machines are available for reading and copying microfilm and microfiche.
