Department
(718) 488-1318
The Periodicals Department is located
on the fourth floor of the library and houses a collection
of 1,600 titles. Some of these
titles as well as many others are available in full
text format in one of the Library's Online
Databases and it is recommended that users search
the databases for full text content. To check if a Journal
Title is available in a Full Text Database click
here.
Students can access the
print and microfilm collection of the Periodicals Department
during regular Library hours.
When requesting articles, the Periodicals Staff will
ask you to fill out a call slip listing the Title of
the Journal, Volume and Author of the article you are
seeking. Bring print-outs of your index searches to
the desk. It is strongly recommended that you request
specific article(s) with a full citation when you come
to the Periodicals Desk. Research, i.e., looking for
journal articles, should be done with the help of a
Reference Librarian on Third Floor or with the help
of the Periodicals Librarian on the fourth floor.
Upon request, the Periodicals Department
will send LIU faculty members regular alerts of the
table of contents of a specified journal or journals.
The Inter Library Loan
(ILL) Department is located on the opposite side of
the Periodicals Desk inside the Reading Room. When you
are unable to retrieve articles through the Library's
Subscription Databases
and the Periodicals Department, please complete the
Journal
Request Form via the InterLibrary
Loan Department and the requested material will
be sent on your behalf to the Brooklyn Campus Library.
You may also complete the Book
Request Form for books not owned by the Library.
The ILL staff will call
you when the material is available.
