Trade journals are publications that are related to the practice of a specific industry. The articles in these publications will speak to the interests of people working in those industries, including best practices, trends, and challenges, and they are updated regularly.
The following library databases provide access to news and newspaper publications and scholarly articles. After running a search with your search terms you can use the News filter on the left side of the page to filter to just news articles on your topic.
Scholarly journals are typically peer-reviewed and written by experts in their field. They are written for the academic audience, and often reflect primary research, data, analysis, comparisons, etc.

Using advanced searches in library databases can save you time and yield better results. There are a few tips and tricks you can use to do this. They can be used for narrowing, expanding, and refining your searches.
AND is used to narrow a search and tells the database to search for sources that have both words.
Using quotation marks or phrase searching tells the database to search for everything in the quotation marks exactly as they are written. It can be very helpful for narrowing a search to a phrase rather than searching for the individual words scattered throughout the source. It can also be used for finding articles that you have the title of. Simply put the title in quotation marks and search.
OR is useful when searching for synonyms. It tells the database to look for at least one of the words you typed in. For example:
Only using OR can yield too many results. Using OR along with parentheses allows you to use other search terms to narrow the search.
If you are finding many irrelevant results, NOT can be used to exclude a word from your search. For example, if you are getting articles from the country India, you can exclude by typing NOT India.
Truncating using an asterisk is also a good way to search using synonyms by looking for different endings of words. It saves you from having to search for multiple variations of a word. For example, market* will return market, marketing, marketer, marketed, etc. Just be careful not to bring it in too far. For example, mar* would bring up every word in the dictionary that started with mar.
A wildcard can be used to replace a single character in a word and is represented by a question mark. Wom?n will search for both the plural and singular form: women and woman.
