What is a current journal / periodical

A journal, magazine or newspaper published within the last year. These can only be viewed in the library (faculty may check out for one day through a staff member). These items are easily identifiable in that they lack any barcodes and have a dated received sticker on the cover.

Bartle: Current periodicals are located in the East Reading Room (1st floor) and in Fine Arts.

  • Journals are removed periodically to be bound into larger volumes (often annually). Once they are bound, they are barcoded and able to be loaned.
  • Newspapers are kept for 2 weeks, then recycled.

Science: Current periodicals are located on the first floor, separate from the main stacks. Newspapers are kept out for 1 month.

UDC: The only periodical the UDC carries is "The Chronicle."
