This is a quick checklist of periodicals which users of the British Library sometimes find difficult to trace in British Library printed catalogues or Explore the British Library. The list is arranged alphabetically by short title and gives shelfmark or other location information. It is based on enquiries about individual periodical titles frequently made to the Reference Enquiry Desk in the Humanities Reading Room and is extremely selective. Periodical titles not included in this list can be identified using the British Library's catalogues.
