Difference between Periodical & Magazine
Sir/ Ma'am
I am a librarian in a CBSE school. CBSE want the detail of number of dailes, magazines & periodicals. But as far I know Periodical is a broad term that includes Dailes, magazines & journals.
There are 12 dailies, 15 magazines coming in our school so should I say that their are (12+15) 27 periodicals. Because periodicals are published at regular intervals. Please help me.
thanks & regards
Chhavinder Sharma

Dear Chhavinder,
Please go through the link http://libanswers.umflint.edu/faq/86816
According to me, magazines are providing recreational contents and journals provide scholarly communication adding to your knowledge. Otherwise both are periodicals published at the regular interval.
