Three types of materials are shelved on the west end of the First Floor: the reference collection, the current periodicals and the New Books shelf. If you have difficulty locating an item in this area, please ask at the reference desk.

Current journals and magazines are arranged in alphabetical order by the title. Note: abbreviations are always found at the beginning of the letter with which they start; i.e.: all the IEEE are at the start of the I's, not after the items beginning with "Id-". Periodicals in this area are the most recent issues that the library has received. The library catalog will list which issues should be shelved in the Current Periodicals.
