Patti Lynn – Library Assistant, Periodicals
Did you know that Ohrstrom Library subscribes to nearly 200 periodicals? With titles ranging from A (Advocate) to Z (Z Magazine), our periodicals cover almost every imaginable subject. While there are many academic titles to choose from (Science and Journal of American History come to mind) we also subscribe to a number of titles selected largely for recreational reading (Car and Driver and Sail are two examples).
Two recently received magazines illustrate the range of our holdings. First, the 798 page September issue of Vogue is now on the shelves (weighing in at an impressive 3 pounds 11.4 ounces). Second, the current issue of the magazine with what I consider to be the most curious title in the collection, Journal of Recreational Mathematics, has arrived. So, the next time you visit Ohrstrom Library, take a quick tour of the Pillsbury Reading Room, and I’m sure you’ll find at least one magazine to browse through.
