A periodical is a publication that issues articles, etc. periodically throughout the year. Library users may be most familiar with periodicals like magazines, newspapers, and journals. Journals are often issued monthly but might be published only a few times per year. Magazines are often published weekly or monthly, while newspapers usually go to press daily. Each time a periodical publishes, it contains a unique set of new articles – no two issues will be exactly alike. Each periodical issue is numbered, and all of the issues for a year are part of a volume, which is also given a number. The journals or periodical section is a section of any library that provides the journals and periodicals collection. PIET Central Library has a specific periodical section to access the journals and periodical collection. There are 126 journals, 22 magazines, and 11 newspapers in the periodical section of PIET Central library for student’s use.
