Professional literature can help you determine what you want to know more about, issues and trends in the profession, and what matters to other professionals.

- Organization webpages. Many professional organizations provide full-text of their articles for free. They may provide different access for association members and non-members. Check their webpages to see what is available.
- Journal Search. The library subscribes to paper or electronic versions of many association magazines and scholarly journals.
- Search the magazine or journal title via the Journal search on the library homepage drop down "More."
- Scan and view entire issues of magazines and journals. Scanning article titles (like a table of contents) provides you with an overview of what is being discussed within the organization/profession.
- Search for a topic within the publication and then read the articles online.
