What is a Periodical?

On this page we talk about magazines, journals, and newspapers.  You'll also find the word periodical being used. 

A periodical is a publication that is issued or published at regular intervals (or "periodically").  This could be every day, once a week, once a month, or once every few months.  Periodicals usually consist of a collection of articles. 

Magazines, journals, and newspapers are all examples of periodicals.  Periodicals are also sometimes referred to as serials.

Reading a daily newspaper is a great way to improve your language skills.  The library subscribes to a number of print newspapers which are available for you to read in the library.
