Whittemore Library: Library Collections: Articles

What we mean by 'Articles'

Articles are short pieces of writing published in combination with others, either printed on paper, on microfilm, or as online digital files.

Articles can contain news - reports, analysis, and editorial opinions (in newspapers), useful and fun information for the general public (popular magazines), helpful information for working professionals in a specific job field (trade journals), or detailed, scholarly information for subject experts and researchers (academic/scholarly journals). And for college students too, since you will learn to find and understand scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles related to your majors and minors..
