Often students in a business class are asked to look for articles from specific publications. This FAQ explains how to find some of the most commonly requested publications.
- Articles from Bloomberg Businessweek (formerly known as BusinessWeek), Forbes, Fortune, or Harvard Business Review can be found using the Business Source Premier database.
- Articles from the Wall Street Journal can be found in ProQuest News & Newspapers.
- Articles from MIT Sloan Management Review and Business Case Journal can be found in the Gale Business Insights: Global database.
These and other business databases can be accessed from our Research Guide to Business.
Each of these databases contain other publications, but you can limit your search to particular magazines, newspapers, or journals.
Business Source Premier
On the search page, scroll down to the Search Options box. Under "Limit Your Results" is a text field labeled Publication. You can enter the name of a specific periodical here, such as Forbes. The database will then look for results only from that publication.
ProQuest News & Newspapers
Enter the newspaper name (wall street journal) in a search box, then use the associated dropdown menu to select Publication title – this tells the database to return only results from that newspaper.
Gale Business Insights: Global
On the landing page, select Advanced Search. From the advanced search, you'll be able to limit a search to the Publication Title field. You may wish to put the publication title in quotation marks to ensure an exact match (though capitalization of the title doesn't matter).
Other search options
Each of these databases have tools that will allow you to limit your results to recent years and to sort results so that most recent results come first. You may also add additional keywords to these searches in order to narrow the results to articles on certain topics.
If you are not on campus, you will be prompted to log in with your MyAACC account or Truxal library card number to access databases. Once you have signed in, you should be able to move from one database to another for the duration of your online session.
