The number of volumes and period covered should be given as well as any change of names the papers have undergone. The editors, even when known, pass unnoticed, and no general heading of "Newspapers" (or any other entry) is required except in the classified catalogue, where all newspapers fall into place under the heading—in the Dewey classification 072 (Newspapers—English).
Magazines and periodicals receive similar treatment, being entered under the first word of their distinctive titles, as
Athenæum, The.
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine.
Dublin Review, The.
Nature.
Review of Reviews, The.
Spectator, The.
When newspapers, periodicals, or magazines change their titles without breaking the continuity of publication, retaining some connection between their old and new titles, the entries are given under the latest titles, with references from the earlier if required, as
Nineteenth Century, The,—and after.
Nation, The (formerly The Speaker).
Speaker, The. See Nation, The.
The alternative and better form, especially where the periodical has a separate volume number sequence under each of the titles, is to enter both as if quite distinct publications, but with notes attached marking the connection, as
| Speaker, The. 10 v. 1890-1900 | 052 |
| See under Nation, The, for continuation. | |
| Nation, The. v. 1-12. 1900-12 | 052 |
| And continuation. Formerly The Speaker. See | |
| under Speaker. |
Weekly and monthly periodicals are sometimes the official organs of learned or scientific societies, in which case the name of the society becomes the entry word, as
Society of Arts, Journal of the.
Royal Geographical Society, Journal of the.
Society of Chemical Industry, Journal of the.
