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. You can find print magazines at University
Library, and some are on the Invisible Web. These electronic
magazines can be accessed from home through MyiLibrary.org
