The second floor houses back-issues (or older issues) of Periodicals. Typically, when the Library has received one year of a magazine or journal, it binds that periodical and moves it to the 2nd floor Periodicals stacks. Periodicals are shelved in alphabetical order, arranged by the name of the journal/magazine. Current year issues of periodicals are behind the Periodicals/Government Documents Desk on the first floor. Periodicals do not circulate.
