Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature
The Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature is a print index of mostly popular periodical literature. This series, in print, extends back to 1890. Indexing is primarily by author and subject in one continuous alphabet. Beginning with the 1976-77 cumulation, book reviews are gathered in a separate section at the end of each annual volume; this section is then indexed by author or by title, when the author is unknown. The LSU Libraries' print subscription ended in February 2008; holdings range from 1900 to 2008, with some volumes missing.
Available from 1983-2006 in JSTOR.
