Journals and Periodicals

Although many of the journals we have in Sherratt Library are available in electronic form, there are times when a print copy is the way to go.

Follow this link to see the top journals in Business. Click on Subcategories and pick a field like Business, Economics & Management or Human Resources & Organizations to see a list of the top journals in that field. Once you find a title you are interested in, please search that title by following the link Find Journal by Title on the library’s homepage. This will indicate whether we have the journal in print or in databases, which databases, and the dates covered.

Books and Ebooks

Here at Sherratt Library, we use the Library of Congress classification system (call numbers) to organize most of our items, including print books and e-books.

There is not one good call number for Business Education. The call numbers will depend on the topic with business or education that you are interested in. You will end up looking in a number of places. Please ask a librarian for help. For example, book about business are classified in:

HA - HJ.

Books on education are classified in:

L - LG.
