The Periodicals Library

The Periodicals Library offers academics, business professionals, students, researchers and the general public access to a wide variety of journals, magazines, newsletters, newspapers and other periodicals in print and digital formats. It's a friendly, open area that makes it easy for you to source the information you need, whether you are looking for something specific or simply here to browse.

You'll find the Periodicals Library located on the Ground Floor, on the same level as the General Library and Information Centre. Here you'll be able to browse past and current periodicals from across the region, and around world in Arabic, English and other languages. Although no items may be checked out of this library, there is ample space to browse and read publications, with reading spaces and tables provided.

In addition to local and international news, business and consumer press, our collection includes some specialised journals on subjects such as languages, literature, cinema, science and technology, arts, history, geography and philosophy. Meanwhile, the library also holds magazines on popular subjects such as cars, entertainment, fashion, health, sport and technology. You will also be able to view some historical periodicals in Arabic, plus a few other current periodicals in other world languages.

Due to the fragile nature of some of our older and rarer periodicals, there are also items stored in the Special Collections Library.
