PERIODICALS

Collection

The Collection of Periodicals is located on the first floor of the Library building. Journals are kept in specialised furniture consisting of book-cases with plastic display cassettes, which allow storage of the bound volumes inside the boxes and at the same time the display of the most recently published issues. The older issues of journals are kept on special archive shelving downstairs. Information on which issues are stored on this shelving can be found inside the box containing a particular title.
