In this unit are special collections like newspapers, magazines, professional journals, periodicals, and conference proceedings. The serial collection is invaluable for research as it provides current information which may be obsolete by the time it is printed as a book. Back issues are of retrospective value to a researcher and are provided on request by the serials librarian. Newspapers are indexed in this unit and filed in a cabinet in alphabetical sequence for easy retrieval. All newspapers are to be read at the comfortable space provided with a centre table and settees. They are not to be removed from there.
