The eResources & Serials Department is located on the second floor of the Linus A. Sims Memorial Library. The Department is responsible for the acquisition, processing, circulation, and preservation of all popular magazines, professional journals, newspapers, and newsletters held by the Library. Recent issues of print titles are arranged alphabetically on shelving in the Current Reading Room (Sims 226). Backfiles of journals and newspapers on microfilm are arranged numerically in adjacent cabinets. Bound volumes of back issues are arranged by Library of Congress (LC) Classification Number on the third floor of the Library, except for Louisiana and regional history titles, which have been moved to the Current Reading Room. Additionally, the Department maintains access to electronic resources, including databases and online subscriptions. 

Please note: The eResources & Serials Department closes 15 minutes before the rest of the library.
