Whilst
many in the publishing industry lament the slow demise of print periodicals, we
in the BGS Library continue to champion the role of high-quality journals,
magazines and newspapers in education and in life. To that end, we are always on the lookout for
periodicals that pack a punch. This term
we are pleased to announce that we have added 4 new titles to the collection:
The
world’s most widely-read weekly news magazine, TIME covers international news,
politics, global business and the arts, focusing on fact-based reportage and
informed analysis/opinion on the issues of the day. TIME’s journalists and photographers are on
the front lines of all the top news stories, with one goal: To help our readers
understand their complex and ever changing world.
A
relatively new publication, Apps magazine is only two years old but has already
become a must-read for technology enthusiasts.
In essence, Apps serves as a buyer’s guide to the best Apple and Android
apps on the market, helping its readers navigate through the incredibly crowded
marketplace to choose the best apps for their device(s).
SFX
magazine is the leading magazine for everything science fiction, fantasy and
horror. Covering the whole gamut of
popular culture, SFX includes articles on books, film, TV and games, from
previews of the hits of tomorrow to interviews with the industry’s
heavy-hitters. And for comic/graphic
novel enthusiasts, we have also subscribed to SFX’s bi-monthly sister-title,
Comic Heroes.
First News is the
award-winning weekly newspaper for young people (aged 7-14). Produced in a
traditional, full colour, tabloid newspaper format, First News opens children's
minds to the issues of today, informing, entertaining and stimulating them to take
an active interest in the world around them.
