Library catalogs list the periodicals that a library owns, but most catalogs do not list specific article titles that have appeared in periodicals.

Magazines, journals and newspapers are all examples of periodicals.

So for example, the Rio Hondo Library Catalog will not list the article titled "Hybrids Beat the Traffic" published in National Geographic, but it will show if the Library owns National Geographic. Concurrently, the catalog will not list the article titles that appear in National Geographic.
