  1.  Journalism subject guide.
  2.  Research tips.
  3.  Scholarly v Popular
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.
