[CASL-L] periodicals

[Tracy Earnshaw]

That's the problem--"discovery."  If  I didn't have print periodicals,
students wouldn't seek them out.  I have a comfortable furniture grouping
near the print periodicals and students will scan the shelves for something
that interests them.  I know at least some are looking because the
magazines are frequently out of order, but I don't have any statistics to
prove it.  I plan to continue to get print periodicals as a way to tempt
students with reading materials.
