Transcript: This guide in the library can show us how to find journals, magazines and newspapers in most libraries Journals and magazines are called periodicals, which means that they are publications issued 'periodically', such as weekly, monthly, quarterly.

Serials are available online, in print, or in microform nowadays in the most of libraries around the world. If you need additional assistance in finding periodicals, do not hesitate to ask staff at the reference desk at the Library. There are a conventional way to locate newspapers and magazines.

Locating Journals, Magazines and Newspapers A library is a place in which literary and artistic materials, such as books, periodicals, newspapers, pamphlets, prints, records, and tapes, are kept for reading, reference, or lending. Libraries collects sources of information in its various forms (print and non-print) by different ways and manage these sources (cataloguing, classification, arrangement) and present these sources to the beneficiary of the library (readers, pioneers, researchers) by easiest ways through a number of library services such as (circulation, photography) through a number of workers and specialists in the field of libraries and information. As we all know that locating a book or a magazine on a library will take a very long time if it isn’t following any protocols or what called by the library terms as cataloging. Steps to locate a Magazine & Newspaper in YUC library Library catalog Catalogue is used for: 1. Find out what items the library owns on our topic. 2. Find where a specific item is located in the library. 3. Find out what issues of a periodical the library owns. 4. Placing a hold, recall or paging request. 1. Power search (Advanced search). A library catalog (or library catalogue) is a register of all bibliographic items found in a library or group of libraries, such as a network of libraries at several locations. A bibliographic item can be any information entity (e.g., books, computer files, graphics, regalia, cartographic materials, etc.), that is considered library material (e.g., a single novel in an anthology), or a group of library materials (e.g. a trilogy), or linked from the catalog (e.g., a webpage) as far as it is relevant to the catalog and to the users of the library. The card catalog was a familiar sight to library users for generations, but it has been effectively replaced by the online public access catalog (OPAC). Some still refer to the online catalog as a "card catalog." Some libraries with OPAC access still have card catalogs on site, but these are now strictly a secondary resource and are hardly updated. Some libraries have eliminated their card catalog in favor of the OPAC for the purpose of saving space for other use, such as additional shelving. For example: in YUC catalog there are two search options: 2. Quick search.
