This question has been asked a lot lately, and we’ve found a couple of web sites that describe the differences well.Types of journals — describes popular, trade, scholarly, and refereed journals.
How to tell if it’s a scholarly journal — describes scholarly, trade, new/general interest, popular, and sensational journals.
Once you know how to identify the types of journals, you probably need to find specific journals of that type. One source that can help is Ulrich’s International Dictionary of Periodicals, available at the Information Services Desk on the first floor East. It lists thousands of journals in different subjects. Look at the list of journals in your subject area, pick one you are intersted in, and look at the page and search the name of the journals to see if we have it. You can also browse the current issues of journals on the 2nd floor East to get a feel for what different kinds of journals we own.
