I've had 3 students so far this afternoon working on an assignment for a World Economy course (I forgot to get the actual course title/instructor). The students are required to find at least 1 recent book and 1 journal that deal with the economy of their country - I think they're actually supposed to have 3. It looks like the professor wants them to find a journal they can follow for the rest of the semester, so they're supposed to find a journal title, not a specific article. For instance, I just helped someone find the Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy to cover Thailand. Titles like the Wall Street Journal aren't specific enough to count as their primary journal/magazine, unfortunately! They're also supposed to write the information down in "bibliographic documentation", which is confusing since they're not citing a specific article, just the journal.
So far the best way I've found to do this is to use a database like Business Source Premier and search as if I'm looking for an article, and then look through the results for a good journal title. From what I can tell the books don't have to be just on the economy, as long as they're a recent publication on the country (and hopefully they mention the economy in there somewhere).

Also, the magazines apparently are supposed to be published at least monthly. That wasn't on the assignment sheet, but one of the students told me Henry said that. I had a lot of customers about this assignment last night. It's due today, I believe.
