**If you're not sure if a source you found is from a trade magazine or not, check the Ulrichs' Periodicals Directory.
Enter the name of a magazine (e.g., Advertising Age, USA Today). Select the name of the magazine from the results list. In the Basic Description section of the magazine's record, there's a "content type" field. If it says "trade," it's meant for an industry audience and is the appropriate type of publication for this assignment. If it says "consumer" (as in the case of USA Today, for example), it's meant for a general audience and isn't appropriate.
To get the full text of an article, consider the following options:
- If you are in Encompass Search or a library database, look for "Check for Full Text buttons," "Access Online," or "Check eResources" buttons. These buttons will take you the full text of the article or tell you that the full text cannot be found. If the full text is not available from Trexler Library, look for buttons to request the item from another library via interlibrary loan. Or go directly to the interlibrary loan request forms.
- If you have citation information for the article (i.e., journal title, article title, publication year, etc.), type the information about your article in Encompass Search on the library website. If the library subscribes to the full text, you will be directed to the article (see first bullet above). If not, you can request a copy of the article via interlibrary loan.
- If Trexler Library does not have access to the full text of the article, search Google Scholar by article title to see if the author has made a copy freely available online. If not, you can request a copy of the article via interlibrary loan.
