Locate Journal in Library Collections

• Located downstairs on Level 1 of the Library unless otherwise noted

• Arranged alphabetically by title, except for newspapers which are shelved at the end of the collection

There are a few other exceptions regarding the location of current issues and high-demand titles. Look up your periodical in APSU Periodical Titles.

Periodical formats include

• Paper

• Bound (like books)

• Microfilm

 Shelving rules to follow are

• Paper, bound and microfilm are shelved together

• Ignore initial articles (a, an, the) EXAMPLE: The All State

• Titles beginning with acronyms (e.g. NASSP Bulletin) are shelved before all titles beginning with the same letter

• Be careful to include articles (a, an, the) embedded in the title (e.g. Journal of the American Medical Association)
