When this is done, put each magazine in a binder made for the purpose, and marked with the library's name, to keep it clean and smooth, and to identify it as library property.

Similar binders are often put on the magazines which are placed in the reading rooms.

(See Library Bureau catalog.) Complete volumes of the magazines are in great demand with the borrowing public.

The magazine indexes now available will make useful to the student the smallest library's supply of periodical literature.
In small reading rooms the periodicals that are supplied should be placed on tables where readers can consult them without application to the attendants.

Files and racks for newspapers, special devices for holding illustrated journals, and other things of like nature, are to be found in great variety.
Post up in the reading room a list of the periodicals regularly received; also a list of those in the bound files.
A careful record should be kept of each magazine ordered, of the date when ordered, the date when the subscription begins and expires, the price paid, the agency from which it is ordered, and the date of that agency's receipted bill.
