04/18/2017 4:29 PM : This is the British counterpart to the very well-used online American Periodicals Series that UNL Libraries have had for over a decade. UNL Libraries have a complete microfilm collection of the titles (Early British Periodicals, British Periodicals in the Creative Arts, and Early English Periodicals.) These are included in the online British Periodicals 1 and 2, but the online version provides ease of use and full text searching that microfilm cannot. “• British Periodicals Collection I consists of more than 160 journals that comprise the ProQuest microfilm collection Early British Periodicals, the equivalent of 5,238 printed volumes containing approximately 3.1 million pages. Topics covered include literature, philosophy, history, science, the fine arts, and the social sciences. “• British Periodicals Collection II consists of more than 300 journals from the ProQuest microfilm collections English Literary Periodicals and British Periodicals in the Creative Arts together with additional titles, amounting to almost 3 million pages. Topics covered include literature, music, art, drama, archaeology, and architecture.” http://www.proquest.com/products-services/british_periodicals.html Because 19th century studies is a cross-disciplinary program at UNL, it would be desirable to make British Periodicals Collections 1 and 2 readily available to UNL users.
