DESCRIPTION
A slideshow for students using Noodletools citation manager for the first time. This introduces them to the differences between periodicals and books.
Citation preview
Is it a periodical or not?
Help with NoodletoolsUW-Manitowoc Library Services
The first thing Noodletools wants to
know is this: Periodical? Or not?
It seems like an easy question
These are periodicals These are books, or nonperiodicals
Periodicals are purchased through a subscription
They are published periodically (monthly, weekly, quarterly, annually, etc.)
Volume and issue numbers show the sequence of issues
Dates given may include month or season and year
Usually they compile a variety of articles written by different authors
They can be in print, microform, or electronic forms
Periodicals can include magazines, newspapers, newsletters, and journals
The differences are obvious, right?
Books are bought one at a time
The book ends on its last page—if changes are needed, a new book (later edition) is published.
Some books are published in parts and have multiple volumes, but they still end (unlike periodicals, which have no known termination date)
Publication date is usually a single year, e.g., 2009
Often represent the sustained work of one author but also can collect shorter works by several authors
They can be in print, microform, or electronic forms
Books can include pamphlets, hard-cover books, technical documents, manuals, and multi-volume reference books
Books or nonperiodicals
You didn’t mention that
periodicals are shiny, with lots of
photos and advertisements.
Why not?
There are several types of periodicals. Not all are popular
magazines.
Journal ◦ Publishes scholarly, academic
work
Magazine◦ Shiny and colorful, includes ads,
popular, for the mass market
Newsletter ◦ Documents the activities of an
organization
Newspaper ◦ Newsprint, current, covers daily
or weekly events
Noodletools lists them
Take a look at the following and try to guess whether they are periodicals or not
Periodical or not?
Periodical or not?
That’s easy. The word
“journal” is in the title!Periodical!
Periodical or not?
On second thought, nothing is that easy at the university. So I’ll also say
that the articles all have
different titles with different
authors. Periodical!
You’re right. It’s a periodical. The
best way to develop
judgment about the differences is with experience using them. So here’s another.
Periodical or not?
Periodical or not?
It’s not slick or colorful.
Periodical or not?
But hey—There are two titles. One is the title of the
article. One is the title of the journal.
So it’s a periodical.
I like the way you are using reason and common
sense to figure it out.
Periodical or not?
Sweet! It’s
colorful and
shiny!
Periodical or not?Not only that, but I see two titles. This is from Rolling
Stone magazine. Periodical!
Periodical or not?
This is just a cover. I can only guess at what’s inside.
Yes, without the physical item, it can
be more difficult to decide.
Periodical or not?
Can’t fool me. There will be
no new Beowulf
arriving in the mail next
month. This is a book!
Books have one title, though it may have two parts, as this does
Beowulf: A New Verse Translation is how the title would be written in a citation
Periodical or not?
Look for these elements when analyzing a source. If you see all this, it’s a periodical: ◦ Title of article◦ Title of magazine
(periodical)◦ Author◦ Date◦ Page numbers◦ Volume and issue
number
Periodical or nonperiodical?
There are variations among the types of periodicals. Popular magazines and newspapers may not have volume and issue numbers.
Welcome to the wild world of
periodicals!
Periodical or not?
This page mentions the New
York Times and I know
that’s a newspaper.
But I don’t see a date or volume number like a
periodical would have. And there’s a
publisher listed: Henry Holt.
Periodical or not?
This page lists articles, each with its own title and
author. That’s like a periodical.
It’s some sort of hybrid. A
bookical!
Periodical or not?
It’s actually called an anthology. Each
article was originally published in the New
York Times. The articles have been
collected and reprinted in a book called an anthology
or collection.
Noodletools provides anthology as a type of nonperiodical choice
This kind of source can be tricky to identify at first
But anthologies are common sources of information
OK, one more. This time it’s electronic,
retrieved from a library database, Academic Search
Elite from EBSCOHost.
This looks like the
photocopy of an article
from a periodical. It has a volume
and issue number.
There are two titles: article and journal
Periodical or not?
That was an article in pdf form.
Take a look at this one
in html.
It doesn’t look like much, but in the upper left corner it
gives a volume and
issue number. It’s a
periodical.
Electronic sources may not look like
their paper counterpart.
But you can still
figure them out.
Everything here has been
explained and seems obvious,
but what if I make the wrong choice when I’m
doing this by myself?
A wrong choice in Noodletools will
become apparent when the program
asks you a question that you can’t answer. If that happens, just
start over.
Remember to ask your professor or a librarian for help if needed. Keep cool
—you learn with each citation and it gets easier as you
go.
Good luck!
