Two good sources to search for secondary articles about your organization:
Google News
Canadian Newsstream - a library database with free articles from over 100 Canadian newspapers.
Search examples:
"windmill microlending"
"telus spark" moser
"b corps" issues canada
"food banks" challenges canada
Develop your search: Trying different keywords and using synonyms is important when searching. TIPS: enclose phrases in quotation marks for more precise results. If you use multiple synonyms separate them with or and enclose in parentheses. For example, one topic could be searched a number of ways:
"b corps"
"b corps" impact
"certified b corporations"
"certified b corporations" (challenges or value)
"innovation labs" canada
"innovation labs" (roles or strengths or issues or problems)
Resources to help: The differences between Scholarly/Popular/Trade publications and Is this scholarly? The Library also has information on conducting literature reviews that may be helpful.
Below are two different ways to try searches to find scholarly and magazine articles.
Google Scholar will search the MRU library for scholarly articles. Before using make sure its set up for off-campus use by following the Menu Icon --> Settings --> Library Links and add Mount Royal University (if not already there).
Change the date in the top left of the page.
If you find one good article make sure to "chain" by clicking Cited by and Related articles below the summary.
Besides providing links to articles in MRU databases, Google Scholar links to online repositories which contain articles the author has been allowed to upload. Academia.edu and ResearchGate are among the repositories searched by Google Scholar. These are still valid scholarly articles as long as they meet the criteria in Is This Scholarly.
