The first step in finding news and magazine articles on business topics is to select a database that includes that type of material, such as the Canadian Business & Current Affairs and Canadian Newsstream databases. Find these databases on the Business subject guide.
Once you've selected and opened a database:
- Search for keywords on a topic – for example, to find articles about advertising on social media, try searching for the words advertising social media.
- To find articles published more recently, set a date-range to search by.
- Filter your results by Source Type to newspapers or magazines, or whichever source type you are looking for.
- On the results page, sort the results by Relevance to bring articles that are more related to the search terms to the top of the list.
- If needed, modify search terms and search again using different keywords.
