Newspapers
The library subscribes to several domestic and international newspapers. Indexes to the contents of most of these newspapers are available in the INDEX area near the Reference Desk on the third floor.
Newspapers are shelved in the Periodicals Reading Area near the Periodicals Office on the third floor. The most current months are available in print, and older issues of most of the newspapers are kept on microfilm. Newspapers on microfilm are kept in cabinets outside the Microforms Room, and readers and reader/printers are available.
