Trade publications are written for those who work in a specific industry and may include news, statistics, trends, and other information relevant to that industry. If you are looking for a particular trade publication by title, you can search for the publication name using Find a Resource.
You may locate a variety of trade publications in the Library’s Navigator Search, as well as some individual databases. Note that trade publications are not considered to be scholarly or peer reviewed, so it is important that you do NOT check the scholarly/peer-reviewed journals limiter when searching for these resources.
