A Periodical is a publication that appears at regular intervals and contains articles, usually about the same subject. This includes newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals.
Periodicals are very important in preparing reports, speeches, or term papers.
The information in periodicals is more current than that found in books. If you find an article you want, but it is in a periodical that is neither full text nor one that the Longview Library subscribes to, then move on to Step 3. Print Sources Longview Library maintains an extensive collection of print indexes kept in the alcove at the north side of the library. These indexes are grouped according to subject content. They can not be checked out.
