Scholarly journals
vs. Popular Magazines
Journals...
- - often written by students or researchers rather than regular population.
- - can be harder to follow without some background information or knowledge.
- - don’t include as much advertising.
- - include list of references and bibliography.
Trade magazine....
-
Limited audiences—People studying in that field
or working in that field.
-
Special publications for each major—usually
discounted for students
Library Homepage: databases can be accessed on the right
hand side.
Many
things can come for free, however, newspapers are
hard to access for free.
SJSU students have access to the library’s 461 databases FREE
Resources:
Librarian at the welcome desk
Nursing librarian at 2nd floor
Individual reference appointments, unfortunately no drop-ins
Computers for borrowing
Computers with creative tools
Miscellaneous:
You can limit by date and peer reviewed/scholarly/academic
articles.
Don’t limit by full text. A full text might be available in
another database.
When you have a lot of results, you want to sort by
relevance.
Subject headings can be helpful—can give ideas to additional
search words.
Google scholar can be useful, and articles required payments
for full access may be available in the library database and in that way be
available for free. The two can be linked together.
