Ulrich's Periodicals Directory (ISSN 0000-0175, and ISSN 0000-2100) is the standard library directory and database providing information about popular and academic magazines, scientific journals, newspapers and other serial publications.[1]

The print version has been published since 1932, and was founded by Carolyn F. Ulrich, chief of the periodicals division of the New York Public Library as Periodicals Directory: A Classified Guide to a Selected List of Current Periodicals Foreign and Domestic.[2]

It is now also supplied on-line as Ulrichsweb, which provides web-based and Z39.50 linking to library catalogs. The online version includes over 300,000 active and current periodicals.[3]

Coverage is international, with some emphasis on English-language publications. The information is derived from the publishers and verified by the journal. It includes

  • ISSN
  • Title and previous titles
  • Starting date, place of publication, and publisher
  • Cost, availability of electronic versions, subscription terms, and approximate circulation as estimated by the publisher
  • Subject information, searchable as subject terms or approximate Dewey Classification, special features, and indexing information
  • Indications of whether the publication is available on open access
  • Indication of whether the publication is peer-reviewed, which is taken to include professional magazines with equivalent editorial control of quality.

Earlier published by R.R. Bowker, it moved to CSA, a fellow subsidiary of Cambridge Information Group, in 2006.[4] Following the merger of CSA and ProQuest, Ulrich's moved to ProQuest subsidiary Serials Solutions.[5] The "Serials Solutions" name was retired in 2014.
