Periodical articles usually provide the most current and detailed
information on your topic. They are found in magazines, journals, and
newspapers.
 | Magazine articles are useful for brief, general, introductory
information. |
| Newspaper articles are another good sources for current, general
information. |
| Journal articles from scholarly or professional journals provide
more scholarly or technical information. These articles are usually
written by scholars in a particular field. |
|
To easiest way to find periodical articles is to use a periodical
index. The easiest are the electronic periodical indexes listed
below. Each entry in the index(es) will provide citations on your topic
and often an abstract or summary of the article. The citation
includes: author of article, title, journal in which the article appeared,
volume and/or number, date, page numbers.
| Determine if the full text of the article is available. |
| Write down, print out, or download the citation(s) or full text
article. |
| For citation-only articles, check the
Pollak Library Journal Title List to
determine if we have the journal on another database or if we own a
print copy in the library. |
