Q. What is a periodical?

Periodicals are publications--like newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals--that are published periodically. The Kean University Library holds periodicals in several formats. Many online periodicals are available, and you can access many of their full-text articles through the library databases. Online full-text journals may be accessed by using any computer located on campus. Off-campus users can also access these resources by logging in to any of the library's databases using their Kean Google username and password.  However, the library also has periodicals in print that can only be used by coming to the library.
