c. Newspaper Clippings. Clippings are maintained to
provide researchers easy access in locating
information from newspaper sources;
d. Indexing. A periodical index is a type of reference
source that lists periodical articles by subject or
author. If one has a topic in mind, a periodical index
can help him/her find articles about that topic. An
index will point to the right periodical, the specific date
or issue copy, and even the pages for a specific article.
A periodical index works like a subject catalog for the
articles within a group of magazines and journals. The
process of using an index is similar to the process of
doing subject or keyword searches for items in a
library catalog. The University Library has both print
indexes in book form and computer-based indexes
available on Excel;
e. Selected articles of periodicals are organized and
stored in a vertical file;
f. Maintenance of record serials subscribed and received;
g. Consolidating of statistics of users and materials
usage (daily, weekly, monthly);
h. Maintenance of stacks area (shelving and
shelfreading); and
i. Repair of mutilated serials.
