Periodicals are continuous publications such as journals, newspapers, or magazines.
The Cornell Library Catalog does not include information on the articles within those periodicals. To find individual periodical articles by subject, article author, or article title, use periodical indexes. When you don't have the citation to a specific article, but you do want to find articles on a subject, by a specific author or authors, or with a known article title, you need to use one or more periodical indexes . First determine what kind of periodicals you want. If you want an index to all three kinds of articles published since 1986, use Periodical Abstracts .
