Why Are Periodicals Important?Why Are Periodicals Important?

Periodicals provide the most current fact checked editorially reviewed information

Periodicals bridge the gap between the reference book and the internet

Best of both worlds

Fact checked reliability of a reference book

Contemporary relevance of blogs and other internet sources which are inherently unreliable

They supplement the encyclopedia content

I.e. A biography on Anna Nicole Smith written in 2006 in a reference book will give accurate biographical information; however, will show her as still being alive. The periodical content brings the information up to date.

Full Text – the key to our competitive Full Text – the key to our competitive edgeedge
