Periodicals/Government Documents Desk

The Periodicals/Government Documents Desk manages two main collections: (1) current issues of Periodicals (magazines, journals, newspapers) and (2) Government Documents.

Periodicals service is provided at the Periodicals and Government Documents Desk during the hours the Library is open. Typically, student workers monitor the desk with back-up supervision and assistance provided by the Library Technical Services Staff. The library currently receives over 1,500 subscriptions. Periodicals may not be checked out of the library by students or community borrowers.

Current Titles

The most current titles are housed behind the Periodicals Desk until they are sent to the bindery. Current periodicals at the Periodicals and Government Documents Desk are checked out from the desk for two-hour periods for use in the library only.  A current student/faculty ID or community borrower card is required.

Back Issues of Periodicals

Various items are sent to the bindery on a monthly basis. Once bound, periodicals are placed on the 2nd floor of the Library on stacks which are open to users.

Government documents

Please consult Government Documents at Moorhead State University for more in depth information, and also to connect to many government documents resources on the Internet. The Government Documents Librarian, Bill Kenz, also supplies Government Documents Reference Service.
