We have a number of periodicals available for use in our library, some are digital and others are printed. The digital copies are available for viewing on the Resource Centre’s computers and the current print copies are available for use within the Resource Centre. The printed journal back issues are available for members to review in the Resource Centre or to check out for up to 3 weeks.

Here are a few of our most recent issues:
