Periodicals Use Study: please do not reshelve magazines in the Library this month!
The Library is doing a print periodicals use study this month, October 2009. The purpose of the study is to help library staff make decisions about print and online access to periodicals, and to ensure that we are providing the best materials in the most appropriate format for you.
Please continue to use any journals and magazines as you usually do, but please do not reshelve periodicals after use. Instead of reshelving, simply place materials on the carts located in the Current Periodicals area or leave near a photocopier if you are making copies. Library staff will record usage and then reshelve all periodicals.
Thanks in advance for helping to make the study a success!
how many magazines do you have? what is the most popular?

If you have a favorite, be sure to use it!
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
