    This guide lists all periodicals (magazines, journals, newsletters, bulletins) for film, video, and related imaging systems currently received at RIT Library. Periodicals from related disciplines that frequently carry articles about film and video are also included here. General interest magazines that feature substantial reviews of current films are listed separately, after the film and video titles. Film and video periodicals that have ceased publication, creative directories, and annuals are omitted from this list. RIT Library's holdings of these titles can be found by consulting "Einstein," the on-line library catalog. Periodicals primarily devoted to still photography are listed in a separate guide, "Current Periodicals: Photography". "Creative Directories for the Commercial Arts" provides a listing of current titles received at RIT Library.

    Publication frequency, local holdings, and location at RIT Library are given for each title. The location of back issues and current issues are given on the first line of each entry. These abbreviations have been used to show the location of current and earlier issues:

    If a title is regularly indexed by any of the indexing and abstracting services currently available at RIT Library, this information is given in the entry. The abbreviations used for each service are listed in the first section of the guide, "Indexing and Abstracting Services."

    The periodical holdings of other local libraries are given in the RRLC Union List of Serials, available at the Reference Desk. Copies of periodical articles from these and other libraries can be requested through RIT Library's Document Delivery Service. Interlibrary loan requests can be made electronically by selecting option 7, "Interlibrary Loan Request Form," from the RIT Library Text menu or under Library Services on the RIT Library Web Page.
