Millions in Print, Helpful Guide to the "Green Books"
Debuts as an E-Book
New
York, New York, February 10th, 2004
For generations, Readers' Guide
to Periodical Literature—the familiar "green
books" in reference libraries nationwide—has introduced
students and library users to periodical research. And since 1951,
more than 7,600,000 copies of the booklet How
to Use the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature have
introduced researchers to the print edition of Readers'
Guide.
Now,
a completely updated version of this helpful handbook is posted in
PDF form on the H.W. Wilson website. Convenient for printing as
needed (without charge), the new e-booklet will be welcomed by the
thousands of libraries and schools that subscribe to the print
edition of Readers' Guide to
Periodical Literature—selected by Library
Journal as One of the 50 Best Reference Sources of the
Millennium.
Updated
instructions include new ways of finding information in the Readers'
Guide print edition (reflecting indexing enhancements
that have been instituted since the booklet was last issued), plus
sample searches and citations that reflect students' interests. A
new quiz tests students' mastery of Readers'
Guide.
Readers'
Guide to Periodical Literature
is also available in a variety of web-based database versions, to
suit the needs and resources of libraries of any size or type.
Index-only, indexing with abstracts, and full text versions are
available. In addition, Readers'
Guide Retrospective 1890-1982 makes a century of reliable
indexing searchable online.
Librarians
can access How to Use the
Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature on the Wilson
homepage (scroll to the bottom), or directly at
