Journals/Periodicals/Serials/Magazines

These are all different names for the same kind of publication - something that is published repeatedly with new content - "publications issued at regular intervals--daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, or biennally-- and are generally intended to be continued indefinitely." http://www3.uakron.edu/library/instruction/glossary.htm

Journals are an excellent resource when looking for the most current information on your topic. Since they are produced at regular intervals they can be updated with the most current information. Databases are, for the most part, electronic collections of journal articles.

If you are looking for information from a specific publication - here's a link to the Journals available via GALILEO and selected other resources from YHC.

You can also check the YHC Library Catalog to see if we subscribe to what you're looking for.
