Resources to help you complete your business plan.

Magazines & Journals

The Library provides access to online databases that include full-text articles from magazines, journals, and newspapers. All of these articles can provide you with endless ideas for products, marketing, funding sources, and much more. If you need help locating a specific magazine or article, or you need to find several articles related to a specific topic, ask a librarian for help.

The Business Source Complete database allows you to view all of the magazines and journals included by clicking the Publications link.
