  2.

Also called a "trade publication" - Queens University Library’s Glossary <http://library.queensu.ca/webisi/survivalguide/glossary.html> Scholarly Journal - A type of periodical that contains scholarly articles written by specialists aimed at other specialists in a particular field. An article in a scholarly journal is usually documented with footnotes and/or a bibliography.

  5. Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Winter, 1997 Periodicals: more on scholarly literature Scholarly Article - reports on original research or experimentation. It is written by a researcher or expert in the field who is often affiliated with a college or university. It should have footnotes or a bibliography and may include graphs or charts as illustrations as opposed to glossy pictures. It may be published by a scholarly professional association or university press, e.g. articles in the Canadian Journal of Sociology. - Queens University Library’s Glossary <http://library.queensu.ca/webisi/survivalguide/glossary.html> Scholarly Journals employ a process of peer-review: An editorial board consisting of experts in the same field as the author of a submitted article review the article and decide if it is authoritative enough for publication. Speculum, July, 1931

  6. Periodicals: differentiating between the types *This handout was modified from a handout created by the University of Michigan, and from a figure published in Cook, Kim N., Lilith R. Kunkel, and Susan M. Weaver. “Cooperative Learning in Bibliographic Instruction.” Research Strategies (Winter1995): 17–25.

  7. Periodicals: why we use them • Timeliness • A journal article can be written, accepted for publishing, and published far more quickly than a monograph (book) • Narrowness of Scope • The scope of a journal article can be much narrower than that of a book. In fact, they are usually extremely focused (e.g. “Anglo-Irish and Gaelic marriage laws and traditions in late medieval Ireland”)

  8. Periodicals: where to find them Title Level – (Journal of Medieval History) vs. Article Level – (“Anglo-Irish and Gaelic marriage laws and traditions in late medieval Ireland”)

  9. Title Level (The Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies):

  10. Article Level (Joyce’s Ulysses as Work in Progress: The Controversy and Its Implications):

  11. Review: where we find books, articles, etc. Where do we search for a book? Theonline catalog! Where do we search for a reference book? The online catalog! Where do we search for a video? The online catalog! Where do we check to see if the library owns a certain journal? The online catalog! Where to search for journal articles on a topic? A database, NOT the online catalog!
