Scholarly vs. Popular
Periodicals Tutorial from Vanderbilt University's Peabody Library
Are you working on a paper and your professor told you could
only use scholarly journal articles? Are
you unsure what a scholarly journal article is?
Well you are in luck! This week’s
Featured Online Resource covers the topic
of the difference between popular vs. scholarly articles. Two tutorials have been selected to showcase
the difference between popular and scholarly articles. The first is from Cooperative
Library Instruction Project (CLIP) at Western Oregon University and the
second is from Vanderbilt
University's Peabody Library. Both tutorials provide a
great introduction to and explanation of the differences between popular and
scholarly articles.
Once you understand the difference between the two types of
resources, you can utilize the library’s new OneSearch searching option to find
articles on your topic. OneSearch allows
you to select articles that are Scholarly (Peer-Reviewed) right from the search
box on the main screen of the library.
If you need additional assistance with understanding popular
vs. scholarly sources, please stop by the Reference Desk.
A librarian is available at the Reference Desk:
- Sunday: 1 – 5 pm and 6 – 9 pm
- Monday – Thursday: 9 am – 5 pm and 6 – 9 pm
- Friday: 9 am – 5 pm
Every week, the Ort Library brings you a new
and outstanding resource from the Web or from one of the library's databases.
