The journal
section is located on the second floor of the library, providing users with a
rich collection of Latin and Persian journals and dissertations. Access to this
section is in the semi-open form, and journals of the section have been bought
in print form since 2010. However, due to the lack of purchase of printed
journals and the lack of online access to some titles of journals required by
education departments since 2011, 46 titles were purchased as CDs and uploaded
on the central library portal. This number of journals was upgraded to 126
titles in 2016, with bibliographic information of journals and journal articles
along with a topic search on the portal of Hannan Digital Library. In 2019,
journals were reduced to 32 titles due to access to the source system at the
central library portal, which allows the retrieval and downloading of journal
articles.
