Journals
Print journals
We receive 10 current periodical titles, with further runs of older titles available to order from our closed store.
Please see the full list below to help you find print journals in the African Studies Library
The titles of journals to which we have a current print subscription are asterisked on the list. The latest issue of each can be found on the journal racks in alphabetical order. Lift and push back the shelves for previous issues. Older issues are stored as below:
BOUND: bound journals of currently received journal titles can be found on the shelves in the Library, next to the journals racks
ARCHIVE: this refers to items in the Library's Archive Store. Please ask Library staff for help
All other journals we hold and do not currently subscribe to (including very limited runs) are also listed. In cases of very long runs, a journal may be stored in more than one location (the oldest being moved to the Archive Store) but this is also noted on the list.
