Over the winter break the library dusted off and brought up historical runs of 71 popular periodicals from the basement. For example, you can now find Time Magazine in the compact shelving on the 2nd floor going back to 1930. While we have database access to many of these titles (and the databases are more complete), browsing through these titles in physical format is a much different experience. You can see articles in context, encounter advertisements, and get a much greater feel for these rich historical and cultural artifacts.
We’ve added colorful signs to our shelves in order to highlight where you can find these titles. We’ve also added a description of the publication, and where relevant, a link to the online version of the publication.
We’re hosting two Open Houses to highlight these titles. Please come if you are able!

In addition, we will be adding these titles to our Research Guides. Please contact reference@kzoo.edu if you have any questions!
