I don't think it's up to Legacy to make that decision. That would be the user's responsibility. The UM's definition of a periodical is pretty broad. It would mean that the Census is a periodical, something that most librarians might take umbrage to. My thesaurus gives the following synonyms for "periodical": journal, mag, magazine, monthly, quarterly, weekly, newspaper, number, paper, rag, review, serial, sheet, slick, throwaway. Strange that the word newsletter never comes up.

Does Legacy use the terminology the same way as explained on the University of Michigan web site? http://libanswers.umflint.edu/a.php?qid=213617 -- Kirstin Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
