Periodicals

Periodicals include Journals, Magazines. Technical Journals are the primary source of information. Textbooks are secondary source of information.

Hence there is a greater importance for periodical section in a technical or any professional institute. Journals are outsourced from various sources and from various geographical regions. There are national periodicals and international periodicals in this section.
