Periodicals and Government Documents
(336) 703-3060

The Periodicals and Government Documents Department receives several hundred current newspapers, magazines and journals. The most recent issue is displayed until the next issue arrives. At that point the older issues are kept at the service desk until they are permanently bound or recycled.

Our staff will gladly assist in locating specific articles using printed or online indexes. Articles may be photocopied from printed sources or in many cases downloaded or printed from computer sources.

A very useful resource for journal, magazine and newspaper articles is NCLIVE. This database indexes thousands of titles and in many cases provides the full text of the articles. Access is available at all branches or from home. A password from the library is required for remote access from your home or office.

GPO LogoThe Periodicals Department is also an official depository for US Government Documents. Here you'll find books, pamphlets and magazines published by the Federal government covering a wealth of subjects. Want the latest statistics on small business start-ups in a particular region last year? Or maybe you're looking for information on college loans. Regardless of your interests, chances are you'll find some helpful government information when you search this area of the Library.
