Finding Articles: Introduction
The U of M Libraries subscribes to over 45,000
journals, magazines and newspapers. Many articles are
available in full-text. These full-text articles and cannot be
accessed for free through Google.
Magazine and journal articles contain the most up-to-date
research in any given field because they take less time to
produce and publish than most books. Also, because they are
short, they often focus on particular aspects of a topic,
while books tend to cover topics more broadly.
In this module, we focus on understanding the differences
between kinds of articles and developing strategies for
finding articles for your research.
