Searching for periodicals

After finding a book that satisfied all the criteria that i was aiming to have, i started looking for two relevant periodicals one academic and the other one non academic. This task wasn’t so hard to achieve since I’ve learned during my curriculum in ssk1203, ssk1201 and the workshop in the library the right way to use electronic databases such as EBSCOhost and Jstor. Indeed, I’ve used a combination of two then of three words to find the periodicals using the advance search in EBSCOhost and then in Jstor. The only step that actually took me a more time than what I was expecting was the evaluating of the periodicals. However, that doesn’t mean that it was difficult. In fact, during this task I had to choose two periodicals from a list that contained many articles that sounded interesting. So I decided to order them using the relevancy. Thanks to the (old system) cad courses.
