Journals are often referred to as periodicals or serials because they are published at regular intervals - weekly, monthly or annually like newspapers and magazines.
Journals are generally published with a volume and issue number and these are important to use when referencing a journal article.
Why do I need to use a Journal?
Print journals are shelved beside the Library Information Desk on the Info Zone.
The journals are arranged by Faculty, some of our print journals are also available online - please check Publication finder
Current issues are displayed to the front with recent issues stored underneath (lift the shelf lid for access)
Print journals cannot be borrowed and are for reference use only within the Info Zone and Quiet Zone of the Library
The Library has back issues of print journal subscriptions from previous years.
The majority of Journals are stored in the Journal Archive Room in the Learning Zone, these issues can be requested by emailing library.sligo@atu.ie and giving details of the journal name, year, volume and issue number.
A selection of journals are bound in hardback beside the reference collection in the Quiet Zone.
