Harper library list o’ journals!

Magazines have their own section at Harris Teeter and the entire store perimeter at some book stores (if you can find one that’s still open), but where are the magazines in CPCC Libraries? Each campus library has its own section of magazines and journals specific to programs at that campus.  Harper campus has graphic design journals like HOW and Print, also construction magazines like Custom Home and Welding Journal.  Come take a look!  *these items cannot leave the library, but can be photocopied or scanned.*
