Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature

Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature is an index of articles in selected popular periodicals published in the 20th and 21st centuries by H. W. Wilson Co., now part of EBSCO Publishing. (There is a Wikipedia article about this serial.)

Publication History

Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature appears to have first been published in 1901, but retrospective indexes go back to 1890. A supplement, which eventually became the International Index to Periodicals, began in 1907. Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature is still published today, primarily as a database, but with print volumes based on the database still regularly issued. No issue or contribution copyright renewals were found for this serial. (More details)
