Finding articles (and more).
The BC Library has online subscriptions for full-text access to 2000+ Business journals, magazines, and papers. To find your favorite journal, you can search for the name of the publication in OneSearch. You can also browse the publications by sub-categories of business topics.
The most effective way to search for articles, however, is to use the Recommended Databases below, the keywords from your topic/thesis, and limit to the type of source that is most relevant for your assignment. This page includes resources that helps you with the process of finding articles in the BC Library databases.
Recommended Databases
You can find links to individual databases on the Library homepage under the heading "A-Z Library Resources". Note that the EBSCO host and Gale Power Search databases include multiple databases related to business research.

Using Library Databases
Databases are searchable collections of reliable, vetted resources, like magazines, academic journals, newspapers, and encyclopedias. We pay for access to these resources through subscriptions--like Netflix, but for articles!
- Vetted= already evaluated or fact-checked
Using OneSearch for Research
If you are already comfortable with OneSearch, you search directly for business related articles and other sources. It can be overwhelming as OneSearch includes everything in the library databases. Make sure to limit by Resource Type to find what is relevant to your topic. See the example below for source types for a search for "Business Plan":
