Periodical & Journal Resource Types
Both Periodicals and Journals can be catalogued through the library system.
A Periodical or Journal is a published work that appears in a new edition (most commonly a magazine or newspaper) on a regular basis, such as every week or quarter. Periodicals are classified in two ways, popular and scholarly. Popular periodicals are magazines and newspapers such as Empire or Digital Photo, whereas scholarly periodicals are more likely to be resources that are catalogued on the system. The library system does not differentiate between scholarly and popular periodicals but this can be done if needed by storing the information in another field.
Instructions
From the New Resource screen, click on the 'Periodical' or 'Journal' icon.
The process of cataloguing a periodical or journal is quite in depth.
