Types of Sources
Magazines
A
magazine is a collection of articles and images
about diverse topics of popular interest and
current events. Usually these articles are
written by journalists and are geared toward
the average adult.
Magazines, like journals and
newspapers, are called periodicals because they are published at regular intervals throughout
the year. You will find that magazines in
libraries come in various formats: print, electronic
and microfilm.
E-zines,
or electronic magazines, can be found on the Web and also in digital library
collections.
Use a Magazine
- to find information or opinions about popular
culture
- to find up-to-date information about current
events
- to find general articles about a topic
(written for a non-specialist)
Examples
- U.S. News and World Report
