Magazines and Scholarly Journals You can browse recent business magazines and journals on the current periodical shelves in the northeast corner of the 2nd floor of Steen Librry. Older issues of the same journals will be found under the same call number on the 4 th floor interfiled with with the business books. Browsing though recent periodicals is a good way to find out what the hot topics being written about today are, but it is not an efficient way to do research. When you are looking for articles on a specific topic you need to use a periodical index. A periodical index points to citations of articles in magazines, journals and newspapers.
Most periodical indexes contain abstracts or brief summaries of the articles.
Some contain the full-text or contents of whole articles as they originally appeared in the periodical. You can access the online periodical indexes, purchased by Steen library, from any Internet- connected computer. At the top of this page you will find links to some general academic periodical databases. A little lower on the page you will find business databases. General BusinessFile also specializes in company information so it's the best place to start for information on companies or products.
