Ulrich's Web is a great way to learn more about a magazine, journal, or newspaper:

• Each entry can tell you whether the title is scholarly and/or peer-reviewed.

• Peer-reviewed (or refereed) titles have a symbol shaped like a referee's shirt next to them.

• Some entries have reviews, which can sometimes tell you a publication's political slant.
