| The periodicals collection contains newspapers, periodicals, journals, newsletters, and trade publications. The collection which supports the fine arts, humanities, and social sciences is housed on the ground floor of McGill Library and the collection which supports the natural sciences and mathematics is housed in the Periodical Area of Mack Science Library. These sources are available in a variety of formats: unbound issues, bound volumes, microfilm, microfiche, and electronic (online). The bound and unbound periodicals are in call number order on open shelves and the microform collections are in call number order in microform cabinets. Because of their bulk, newspapers are kept for a limited time only and then are either replaced by microfilm or discarded. These materials should not leave the periodical area and do NOT circulate. |
| Periodical articles are found in scholarly journals, trade publications, and popular magazines. While all three types of publications may contain articles on a given topic, the language, authority, and intended audience is distinct, one from the other. Below are general characteristics you may use to differentiate among the types of articles. | ||
| Scholarly Journal Articles | Popular Magazine Articles | |
| Always include bibliography/reference list | Do not include bibliography/reference list | |
| Authors are identified as experts in field | Authors are often on staff of publication | |
| Language is technical | Language is non-technical | |
| Report original research or experimentation | Inform or entertain the general public | |
| Articles in periodicals are identified by searching by subject in one of the many periodical indexes in the Libraries. Some of these indexes can be found online via the Electronic Resources page, while others are housed in the Reference Room of McGill Library or in the Periodicals Area of Mack Library. Indexes may cover one subject area (e.g., Art Index, Biological Abstracts) or numerous subject areas (e.g., Academic Search Elite). | ||
