Media Production: Magazines and Journals

Print and electronic journals are an important source of specialist information:

• Journals are published daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually therefore the material is very up to date.
• Journals are the first place that research is published.
• Many journals are peer reviewed; the articles have been critically reviewed by experts in the field before being published.

The most simple way to find journal articles is to search mySearch (above). It gives you an easy, yet powerful means of accessing our information resources through a single search. It searches across our library catalogues and many of the Library databases, e-journals and other external services that the Library subscribes to.

The alternative is to search an individual subject specific database. These will search a smaller number of articles than mySearch, but are subject specific and will give you more focused results. Click on the 'Specialist Resources' tab for a complete listing.  

You can use mySearch to search for articles in journals such as those listed below, or search by journal title if you prefer. If you need advice, email fmclibteam@bournemouth.ac.uk
