PERIODICALS
Pages, Parts and Audience
In the language of libraries, journals and magazines are considered "periodicals." This means that they are published continuously and at regular intervals, such as weekly or monthly. Because of the frequency of their publication, periodicals are a good source of current information.
WHAT IS A PERIODICAL?
Characteristics
Periodicals are purchased through a subscription They are published periodically (monthly,
weekly, quarterly, annually, etc.) Volume and issue numbers show the sequence of
issues Dates given may include month or season and
year Usually they compile a variety of articles written
by different authors They can be in print, microform, or electronic

Scholarly/ Academic Journals, Popular Magazines, Trade Journals and NEWSPAPERS.
These are examples of Periodicals.
Types of Periodicals
Popular magazines (such as Time, Newsweek or Sports Illustrated) include those found on most newsstands, usually with flashy covers intended to entice a reader and commonly printed on glossy paper with many illustrations and photographs.
Scholarly journals tend to be the most common sources of bibliographic research for serious researchers. These journals are usually oriented to students and professionals in a particular discipline and may be more difficult to understand for those who do not have some familiarity with the general field being discussed.
Types of Periodicals
Between popular magazines and scholarly journals are subject magazines (such as Scientific American or Smithsonian), professional journals (such as Anthropology Today or American Psychologist) and trade journals (such as Automotive News or PC Week). These types of publications sometimes look similar to popular magazines but they typically report on developments in a particular subject area, profession, trade or industry and are oriented to those who are either in the field or who have a particular interest in the subject matter.
THE NEWSPAPER
NEWSPAPERS are to inform about current events and issues internationally, domestically, and locally, made for the general public. They may be produced daily or weekly, edited by a single editor.
