Periodicals in ASU's Noble Science Library are arranged by call number. Unlike
those in the main library, however, the bound backfiles are intershelved with
the monographs; current issues are kept in our "Current Periodicals and
Microforms" department. The most recent issues are kept on display shelves,
previous issues of the current year in periodical boxes. The difference in
shelving between the main library and the science library does lead to some
confusion for new users, but patrons seem to prefer being able to find
monographs and periodicals in one place (at least our sci/tech people, I can't
speak for users of the main library).
