Once you know whether you're going to the Microfilm Collection or the Microfilm Periodicals Collection, you'll want to make your way to the 1st floor of the RBD Library.
Walk through the Innovation & Research Commons. You'll turn left to head toward the Microfilm Periodicals cabinets (marked as point B on the map) to find Thespian Magazine (from above).
Once you turn left, you should see cabinets of microfilm in front of you. These are our microfilm newspaper, microfilm periodicals, and microfilm government documents collections.
The cabinets for Microfilm Periodicals will have a pink sign on them.
There will be a tag on each drawer that tells you what publications are inside it.
The drawers are organized alphabetically by periodical title.
If your periodical has a call number, it will be in the Microfilm Collection, which is marked with an A on the map. You'll need to go to these stacks on the 1st floor and look for your call number on the boxes there. We're in the process of updating our signage, so you might find that some of the labels on our shelves doesn't match up with the call numbers located there. The call numbers will be in alphabetical order, though, so you should still be able to find the box(es) you need, though you might have to go up and down the rows.
The Microfilm Collection stacks will look like this. The boxes are arranged in call number order.
Once you find the box(es) with your call number, you may need to check which reels are included in the box to make sure you'll find the year(s) you're looking for.
When you open the box, you should see several reels of microfilm. Each box should indicate which reel is inside and may also indicate which years are covered on that reel.
