Because many of our journals and magazines are collected together in aggregated databases, adding and mixing several titles and publishers, searching is usually a matter of entering words and phrases that describe your topic, at least in the beginning.
(Begin here, just to get the hang of it!)
You can explore the magic of these selected collections:
Business Source Complete
ABI/INFORM Collection
CBCA Complete
Sage Premier
Business Insights Global
LexisNexis Academic
Academic Search Premier
Research Library
From time to time, a professor, here and there, may recommend a favorite journal or magazine, suggesting a title that is perfect for your research report! With over 150 discrete collections within our online library, how will you ever find it?
The short answer is to summon the magazine/journal searching tool, with the obvious name: Journal Search. This tool directly links to individual magazines/journals within our collection, no matter which database(s) they resides in.
Try it, and see for yourself.
Example: MIT Sloan Management Review... shows up in few places, including here!
You may want to practice with a few of these titles!
Accounting
Accounting, Organizations and Society
Critical Perspectives on Accounting
Journal of Accounting and Economics
The purpose of this guide is to provide a "toe-dip" into the library's collections as they pertain to Accounting students. If you want to drop deeper into the bottomless pit of research, check out these other two guides:
Fundamentals of Business & Business 119
While these guides are "for" these courses, their real purpose is to open up the library to students in new ways, covering journal and magazine discovery and evaluation, search strategies, along with navigating the streamed audio-visual experiences, and giving a little head-space to APA.
Go ahead and wake that sleeping dragon!
