Religion: Articles

Journal, Magazine & Newspaper Titles

To find out if the Library subscribes to a specific magazine, newspaper or journal, go to the Journal Titles List.

What is the difference between a magazine and a journal?

"Magazine" is often used to describe a popular publication like Time or People.

“Journal” is used to describe a scholarly work that is written by experts.  Journal articles tend to be longer and provide extensive citations to additional research.

Subject Database

Use a subject database to find articles in a special subject area such as religion. 

General Databases

Library databases are the best sources of articles from magazines, newspapers and journals.  On the Library home page, go to Find Articles/Electronic Resources and use a Frequently Used Database to find articles on general topics.  Lexis Nexis is best for newspaper articles. Search using keywords combined with "and", eg. Buddhism and Nothingness.  Article databases do not always provide the whole article, but you can usually limit what you get to full text (complete) articles.
