LibGuides: Business and Management guide for students in Ghana: Finding journal articles

Why do I need to use journals?

Journals are important for finding:

the most up-to date research on a topic
coverage of a specialised subject
original research, experiments and in-depth analysis

How do I find journal articles?

Use OneSearch to find and access many of the journals available from the Library.

Search tips for OneSearch:

Select the Articles & More tab then enter some keywords which describe the subject you are researching, or the specific article you are looking for.
Once your results have been returned, you can use the Refine My Results option to show just Articles.
