Re: [LM_NET] recommend prof. journals or magazines

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

While there are several journals that you might be interested in
subscribing to / reading, don't forget to check your database
subscriptions for some of the journals that perhaps you can't always
afford.

Many of the databases now provide "alerts" by email which let you know
when new content has been added.  So, when you check your databases
for those journals that perhaps you can't afford or don't always have
access to (especially if you share them with others on your campus),
be sure to set-up an email alert (or an RSS feed) so that you can stay
current even though you may not have access to the paper format.

Many of the databases such as Gale, EBSCO, ProQuest, and others,
provide "alerts"---to see what journals are available in full-text,
check the database's PUBLICATION holdings.  Choose those that you're
interested in reading and set-up the alert or RSS feed and you'll
always be able to stay current....and don't forget to share this tip
with your teachers who want access to specific journals.
