Changes to Print Journals & Magazine Section

You should be aware that, In addition to the new collection of light reading (popular magazines) added to the periodicals section, the library made a few more changes to its journal collection over the break.

The following Psychology journals were cancelled in print format, as we receive the current issues electronically via the PsychINFO database: Behavioral Neuroscience, Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Journal of Comparative Psychology, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning Memory and Cognition, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Bulletin and Psychological Review. Back issues for articles published prior to 2010 are available at either PsychINFO or downstairs in the bound journals collection.

The magazines Democracy and Education, Dr. Dobbs and Far Eastern Economic Review ceased publication during 2009 and no longer are found on our shelves. Further, the library cancelled its subscription to the magazine Science News, due to an extremely large price increase. Readers of Science News should check New Scientist, Scientific American or the American Journal of Science for articles similar to those found in Science News.

Finally, the library started a subscription to the Journal of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, (JOPERD), the leading publication in those fields.
