Find a periodical

The Periodicals department is responsible for managing Mason Library's collection of magazines, journals and newspapers, including shelf maintenance, keeping statistics and assisting library patrons. The library subscribes to more than 1000 titles. Current issues of magazines, journals and newspapers are located on display shelving in the periodicals reading room opposite the library's front door. Older issues, most in bound volumes, are located in the periodicals stacks on the first floor. Periodicals are arranged in Library of Congress call number order except microforms which are alphabetically arranged and located in cases behind the periodicals stacks. Periodicals are a "Library Use Only" collection. Photocopiers and microform reader/printers are available. For information on periodicals use and policy, contact a reference librarian.
