What is the difference between LEO Library Catalog and Periodical Locator?

LEO Library Catalog is our official list of all books, videos, sound recordings, and documents. LEO does include information about many of our journals, magazines, and newspapers, but it does not include the titles that are part of aggregator databases like InfoTrac OneFile, LexisNexis Academic, ABI Inform, Wilson OmniFile, and Factiva.

Periodical Locator is our official list of all journals, magazines, and newspapers available through JMU Libraries. If you find that a title does not appear in Periodical Locator, consider double-checking for it in LEO Library Catalog. It may have been accidentally excluded from Periodical Locator, or may consider the title to be a book series rather than a periodical.
