Architecture Studies http://blogs.library.unlv.edu/arch-studies/ Announces new materials and events in the ASL. Announcements and feature information from the ASL Librarian. en Copyright 2010 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 15:02:24 -0800 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Magazine Use 2007-2008 I have put out a list of current subscriptions in the ASL, with the statistics on how many uses they got in 2007-2008. As you know, if journals are not well used, we cannot justify continuing with the subscription.

The list is in the current periodicals section.

Comments welcome!
