Where to find the sourcesPage 1 of 1The bibliographies and catalogues on periodicals help the researcher a lot. While internet and e-libraries made it much easier to search periodicals, a few decades ago it was these printed catalogues and bibliographies that were most beneficial for the researchers. For instance, the following catalogue presents an excellent account of periodicals between 1828 and 1928 in old Turkish. Hasan Duman, Baslangicindan Harf Devrimine Kadar Osmanli-Türk Süreli Yayinlar ve Gazeteler Bibliyografyasi ve Toplu Katalogu, 1828-1928, (Bibliography and Union Catalogue of Ottoman-Turkish Serials and Newspapers from Beginning to the Introduction of the Modern Turkish Alphabet, 1828-1928) Ankara: Enformasyon ve Dokümantasyon Hizmetleri Vakfi, 2000 Nikola V. Mikhov’s “Bibliographie des articles de périodiques allemands, anglais, français et italiens sur la Turquie et la Bulgarie” was published in 1938 by "Academie Bulgare des Sciences", and it comprises of periodical articles about Bulgaria and Turkey, extracted from 407 periodicals published 1715-1891, in German (3715), English (1377), French (4736), and Italian (243). The entries (over 10000) are arranged chronologically. In Britain, the following book provides significant data for British periodicals between 1740 and 1914: This book contains eleven original contributions by scholars working on periodicals and newspapers in the British Isles, outside London. The essays focus on the period between 1740 and 1914, including some case studies of individual publishers and their experiences in the print market. This volume demonstrates the cultural and political significance of newspapers and periodicals and their producers. A key theme emerging from the essays is the range of relationships between producers and consumers of print who lived and worked in the provinces and their connections with London. It examines the question of ‘provinciality’ and sheds considerable new light on the connections between book trade people in all parts of the British Isles. Such catalogues usually indicate the place of periodicals as well. In England, it is British Library which has outstanding periodical collections. National libraries, old and well-known university libraries usually contain good collections. However, in some countries there are libraries specifically commissioned for periodical collections. In Turkey, for example, Atatürk Library and Hakki Tarik Us Library are the most valuable libraries for their collections of newspapers and periodicals. Milli Kütüphane (National Library) and Beyazit State Library have also considerable number of periodical collections. In England, British Library is the best place periodicals. The collections are split between the main British Library in St Pancras and the British Library Newspaper Library in Colindale, North London. Broadly speaking, the Newspaper Library holds titles which were published more frequently than monthly; the main British Library holds those produced at monthly or less regular intervals, although there are many exceptions to this rule. German and Austrian exile periodicals are principally held in the main British Library collections in St Pancras and may be consulted in the Humanities Reading Room. Shelfmarks of items held by the Newspaper Library are preceded by NL. These titles may be read only in the Newspaper Library Reading Room in Colindale, North London.
