The School Library subscribes to a selection of print magazines and journals. You also have access to a wealth of newspapers, magazines and journals via PressReader.
Newspapers, magazines, and journals are all periodicals. They may come out daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually, but new issues are released on a fixed schedule.
Journals are often issued monthly, but might be published only a few times per year. Magazines are often published weekly or monthly, while newspapers usually go to press daily.
It is important to understand the difference between a popular and a scholarly periodical. When you are doing research, most of your sources should be scholarly.
Often popular periodicals are called magazines, and scholarly periodicals are called journals. Many times it will be acceptable to use some popular material, but essays and school work should not be based solely on popular literature.
Each time a periodical publishes, it contains a unique set of new articles -- no two issues will be exactly alike.
Each periodical issue is numbered, and all of the issues for a year are part of a volume, which is also given a number. That's why, when you cite a specific article from a journal, magazine or newspaper, you must include the volume and issue number. It helps your reader find it more quickly, in case they'd like to read it for themselves.
