Journals and periodicals

What do you mean by "journals and periodicals"? By this we generally mean anything that is published in a serialized way--think magazines, scholarly journals, newsletters, that sort of thing.

Where can I access them? It depends! For print items, you will find current periodicals located in their own section in the Harris Fine Art Library. Older print periodicals can be found in the general stacks. Online items usually will be findable through a database. If you're having problems browsing periodicals, just ask for help! or contact me!
