Art Periodicals (magazines and journals) are primarily catalogued in the early P/700s. Microfilm is stored on the first floor of Huie Library and bound and paper periodicals are kept on the second floor on the gray shelves, at the same end of the library. Many periodicals can also be accessed through online databases. The most commonly used databases are accessed through EBSCOHost, ProQuest Direct, and Lexis Nexis.

Conduct your research early in the semester in case you need journal articles and books that are not held in HSU and OBU's libraries. You can request and receive these items from other libraries by filling out a simple form. Most loan requests take less than two weeks and books are generally slower in coming than journal articles. There is rarely a charge for this service.
