Sometimes as a student at the University of Guelph-Humber, you may be required to locate materials from magazines to gauge popular sentiment.
But did you know as a University of Guelph-Humber student, you have access to the archives of thousands of celebrated magazines and trade publications...
...such as The Economist and National Geographic?
The process required to search for magazines is similar to those for finding e-journals.
To start searching for magazines, you will want to go to the University of Guelph-Humber's library homepage.
Scroll down and click Find E-Journals
Then you'll be asked to log-in using your Guelph Central Login. This is the same as your Gryphmail.
Then you'll see a screen that says Find e-Journals.
If you know the title of the magazine you are looking for, you can type it in and then click Exact.
One of the things you may come across is that as with journals many magazines have similar sounding titles.
Thus in the case of this example in which I have searched for the magazine The Economist...
... I will need to be able to differentiate between the journal called Economist and the magazine I desire known as The Economist.
When you've selected the desired title, you will need to collect the links to one of the databases that provide Full-Text editions...
...of the magazine.
As you can see, the coverage for each database differs.
Therefore, you will want to select something that is appropriate to your research needs.
Additionally, magazines found in databases often do not contain pictures, charts or other images found in the print edition.
You may also encounter magazines that do not feature the most recent issue or have missing issues.
So in this example, I am going to access The Economist from Academic Search Premier.
To access the Full-Text, I will then click Go.
Now to search for articles within the magazine, I can do one of two things:
I can either browse through each of the available issues by clicking on the years on the far-right side of the page.
And then access individual articles.
However, if I'm looking for articles focusing on specific terms or individuals, I can click Search within this Publication.
I can then do things such as change the date range for the material, as well as look for specific topics.
In this case, I'm going to look for articles about the Kirchners in Argentina.
To access the Full-Text for the article in this particular database, I can click HTML Full-Text or the title...
...but sometimes you may find you may be able to access items via PDF.
If I want to find information pertinent to my citation, I can click the Detailed Record.
Then I'll come across information such as the magazine title, the publication date, volume, issue and pages numbers, and any relevant authors.
To access the article, I can then go and scroll down and the Full-Text is at the bottom of the page.
And that's how you can find a magazine at the University of Guelph-Humber.
