Some General Info about Serials August 19, 2008

Posted by ereber in : Jen, library, magazines, periodicals, serials , add a comment

Serials represent the “cutting edge” of information as they are published with far greater frequency than books. Scholarly journals will also be more acceptable, being peer reviewed, than many other sources for your professors. Many professors will tell you online sources such as Wikipedia are a no go because you cannot be sure of the authenticity of the information provided. A prime example of inauthentic entires would be politicians going in and altering information about themselves.

The Serials Department has 1727 titles, 924 of which are current subscriptions.
We also have 6,398 micro forms (microfilm and microfiche) and 26,918 bound volumes.

Serials (magazines, journals, etc) are in multiple locations in the library:
Current periodicals are in the NW corner of the 2nd floor.
Bound periodicals are in the room along the south wall of the 2nd floor of the library.
Reserve periodicals can be found at the circulation desk on the first floor by the entrance.
Any periodicals marked as “Level B” are in the basement and can be retrieved by staff members at either the circulation desk or the serials office on the 2nd floor.

We also have access to many more periodicals and journals via our research databases. http://www.scad.edu/services/library/researchguides/index.cfm

Sports Illustrated August 15, 2008

Just a quick notice for our sports enthusiasts. Due to repeated theft we have moved Sports Illustrated to reserve. You can check out the latest issues at the circulation desk in Jen Library for 2 hours of on site reading. We know this might create an little extra hassle for the students, staff, and faculty who want to stay on top of their sports news. However,  the serials office has had well over 50% of the last 2 volumes stolen so we thought it better to have the extra barrier than to not have them at all. We apologize for any inconvenience.
