MAGAZINES, JOURNALS, NEWSPAPERS
A magazine or journal is something that is published periodically, and so in libraries they are called periodicals. A magazine is a periodical that can be published daily, weekly, or monthly. Magazines usually contain fairly short articles written in a style of writing that is easy to understand. There are usually lots or advertising in a magazine. A journal, however, contains the results of research or experiments done. Usually in a journal article there is data presented about a research project, and the language can be quite technical, and there are few advertisements.
Unlike books, the contents of journals are not available in the SE library catalog. So where are they located? They are located in magazine and journal indexes. Magazine and journal indexes assign a subject to each article in each journal indexed in the magazine and journal index. Until the 1990's most magazine and journal indexes were in paper, now they are almost all on the Internet. Some of these journal indexes on the Internet index popular magazines, other scholarly, while others are devoted to one subject area, NO Journal Index indexes every journal that is published, so they are selective. The term that libraries use for magazines, journals and newspapers, is PERIODICAL
Periodical Indexes
A periodical index is a publication that indexes the content of periodicals. There are many different periodical indexes, some general and some subject specific. One thing needs to be made clear: There is not any periodical index that indexes every single periodical being published today. So each index is selective in what periodicals it indexes. Periodical indexes tend to index the most important or most popular or most respected or well known periodicals.
Here are some periodical indexs that are useful for research in history:
