Find an Article
● A periodical is something that is published at regular intervals. Magazines and journals are both periodicals, however…
● Magazines are periodicals that contain more popular content. They tend to have glossy pages, lots of pictures, and can be read and understood by the general public. They contain shorter articles written by a staff of journalists.
● Journals are periodicals that contain scholarly and peer-reviewed articles, written by scholars and researchers, that are aimed at professionals in the field. The articles are longer and have extensive bibliographies at the ends of the articles.
• Library databases are tools used for locating journal and newspaper articles
• Most are subject-specific, some are multi-disciplinary
• Many give access to full text of articles
• Heterick has 200+ databases
• Available from Heterick home page: www.onu.edu/library
