1. Today in class we discussed Topic refinement and went over eachother's topics. We also looked at different magazines and examined them in terms of what type they were.
2. A "popular" journal is aimed at the general public and designed to entertain. A "trade/professional" journal is used to examine industry, new products and is more specifically aimed at those in a particular industry. "Scholarly" journals usually involve research and are straight to the point, usually aimed at researchers and the media influence of advertising is minimal.
3. Print periodicals can be asier and quicker to navigate to the less technological savvy. However they are limited by size as information and content is added. Electronic periodicals can allow access to much larger amounts of information in one place. Finding the specific information that is needed however can be harder for someone not farmiliar how to effectively search.

I'm not sure that print periodicals are easier to navigate. I think it's easier to see how they are put together and to analyze what type of periodical they are, but I'm not sure about navigating. Still, you never know. Perhaps it depends on the individual searcher.
