Magazine Display in West Atrium

Marquand Library’s West Atrium Reading Room in Firestone Library now has a set of shelves displaying current periodical issues. These shelves are narrower than the other assigned study shelves in the West Atrium so are being utilized to display some of c. 300 currently received print magazines and journals (excluding annuals). You can find them at Study Shelf no. 201-205 in the West Atrium. Since Marquand’s former, very spacious periodical reading room is not currently available while a new Art Museum is being constructed, this display allows at least some of our current periodical titles to be visible and accessible to for library users for browsing.

A set of 18 current periodical titles were chosen to present a variety of current issues in English. These are not available in electronic form; other titles can be swapped out if necessary or requested. The current issue of each of the 18 will be displayed as it becomes available. If there is a title that is of interest for this display, please email marquand@princeton.edu .

African Arts
