Magazines

Magazines publish articles on topics of popular interest and current events. The articles are written by journalists and are for the general public.

Magazines, like journals and newspapers, are called "periodicals" because they are published at regular intervals throughout the year. Many are now available on the web through publisher websites (fees may be required) or through Gordon Library’s subscriptions to article databases online. Use the Journals search to see whether Gordon Library subscribes to the online version of your favorite magazines.
