Quarterly Review
Special Collections houses some of the Library's older and more fragile runs of journals and magazines that are not currently available via the electronic library.
Access
These journals are available in the reference area of Special Collections for browisng and consultation. All researchers will need to fill out an application for access form on their first visit. It is not always necessary to make an appointment to use these journals but it might be advisable to do so if you are making a special trip in case seats are unavailable.
Reproductions
As many of these journals are fragile, it is not possible to photocopy from them, but researchers are welcome to use the digital copier available in Special Collections s to take images of the material. Normal copyright rules for published material apply and a fee for us of the digital copier will be made.
