Locating Trade Journals

The image below shows the search page for ProQuest Combined. It is, however, just one of the many databases we subscribe to at GRC that house articles from trade journals. Other databases should have similar tools, though they may be located in different locations on the screen. 

Search tips:

• Search using multiple keywords. Use quotation marks around terms you'd like to keep together as a single concept. 
• Limit to Full-Text options if you want to see results that you can immediately download
• Under Source Type, here on the first screen, or after you try your search, you can limit to Trade Journals
