Finding Print or Microfilm Copies of Periodicals

Online access to articles is great, but there are times when you will need to find a paper copy of a periodical:

    1. Sometimes a publication is only available in the print or microfilm collection.
    2. If an article is only available in HTML format, graphics (photographs, charts and other illustrations) are usually not included. You will need to retrieve the paper or microfilm copy.

Search the "Magazine, Newspaper and Journal Holdings List" from the Library's home page to see if the Library should have a print or microfilm copy of the article you need.

Print periodicals for the current year are located in the Periodical section of the first floor of the Library. They are shelved alphabetically by title. Ask for older print issues at the Circulation Desk.

The microfilm collection is shelved in black cabinets in the Periodical section on the first floor of the Library. A Library staff member will show you how to print articles on microfilm.
