The Academic ASAP database, for example, now includes the full-text of the articles for about half of the publications it indexes. Finding Periodicals in a Library Unlike books in a catalog, the periodicals included in indexes are not based on the holdings of a particular library. Some libraries include their periodicals in their main catalog, but many maintain a separate alphabetical list of periodical titles. These lists often indicate where each periodical is located in the library. In other libraries, back issues are kept in a separate periodicals section.
Many libraries also provide a subject list of their periodicals in addition to the titles list.
Skyline College Library has a printed List of Periodical and Serials , available at the reference desk, which includes both an alphabetical and a subject listing of all the library's periodicals. In some catalogs periodical titles are listed in the same index as book titles and in some catalogs periodical titles are listed in a separate indexes. All commercial rights are reserved.
