In the chart below appear periodicals which stand "in the Middle" between short-form news and entertainment magazines and full-blown academic journals. Written with an audience of curious, inquiring readers in mind - such as college students! - the articles featured in these publications often summarize and interpret what is published in the academic literature. They are often an ideal place to get a substantial overview or analysis of a current topic frequently peppered with references to original research articles which the reader can then track down.
In the table below, the left column includes links to the "About" or "Mission" page(s) of each publication. But remember: this is the publication describing itself, not an independent assessment of its cultural or intellectual focus or the rigor of its journalistic standards.
The center column provides links that will allow you to search each title individually, using terms which describe the topics and issues in which you are interested.
The right column gives the Call Number of each title for which we continue to receive issues in print as well as notes about major changes in some of these long-standing publications. They are shelved in the Periodicals Area on Level 2, Adams Library.
