When you have the option to use "popular" articles, it sounds pretty easy, but it can get overwhelming pretty quickly. Often when we talk about popular articles, we're talking about magazine articles, as opposed to the scholarly sources you'll use for many of your assignments. On this page, I provide some options for locating these popular articles.
Be sure to also explore the page on Finding News Articles to learn specific strategies for accessing our UNLV subscriptions for thousands of newspapers around the world.
One way to find popular articles is to use the Quick Search tool (the search box on the UNLV Libraries home page) and limit yourself to MAGAZINE ARTICLES.
Search for your topic, then look for the Format filter on the right side. You probably will need to click "Show More" to find the Magazine Articles option.
Another option is to explore PressReader, which provides access to lots of magazines and newspapers that UNLV Libraries has access to.
Don't forget that you can also often use videos from reputable sources as popular sources in your assignments, such as the very excellent TED Talks, which feature experts on many topics discussing the things they are passionate about.
