LibGuides: Hyper Island Distance Learners (International): Finding Journal Articles, Business Information & Digital Media

What are journals and why are they useful

What are journals?

They are: Journals

like magazines but of a scholarly nature
published at regular intervals with no predetermined end
contain articles on a variety of topics
the articles are written by different authors
sometimes they also contain reviews and other information
in printed and electronic formats

Why Should I use them?

Journal's contain the most cutting edge thinking and research, it's much quicker to publish a journal article than a book.
Journal articles are typically quicker to read than books, giving you a chance to research more broadly into your subject.
using information from journals will keep you up to date and informed of new developments in your subject
journals articles are more specific than books. They give you more detailed information in a more scholarly and concise format
subject may not yet (or may never) be covered in books
quality research - academic reputation - peer reviewed.

How to find Journal articles

Just like when you are searching for books or ebooks, you can use Discovery from the Library home page to search all of our Journal databases.

For more information on how to search Discovery, please watch the following video guide:
