Subject: Re: [SERIALST] Browsing or Current periodical collections

We are a small academic library with approximately 850 print
subscriptions. All are displayed alphabetically by title in the
"current" section. The overflow is shelved in the "older" section which
is also alphabetical by title. The actual browsing collection, which
consists of all our newspaper subscriptions and a handful of popular
titles (Newsweek, Time, New Yorker, etc.) are shelved on the main floor
next to the browsing book collection. The magazines are in plastic jackets.
