Description of the Trade Journal Page
This page lists over 60 trade journals subscribed to by Concordia University Libraries in print covering numerous industries and business activities. Included in each journal entry are:
- The title
- A link to the website homepage for each journal, which may or may not include access to the text of the articles. Please note that many websites include unique online directories of suppliers, often called Buyer's Guides.
- A link to fulltext access online via the Libraries subscription article databases, when available. Important note: fulltext content may not include images or advertising.
- A link to the CLUES record for the journal. The record contains the date of the most currently received issue and the call number for finding it in Concordia Libraries' Periodical Collections
Print subscriptions are maintained for many of these magazines because online editions, when available, often do not include the original illustrations (ex: tables, graphs, etc.) or the advertising from the print issues, which are important components of these types of publications. Missing as well from online content, but which the Libraries may receive with a print subscription, are the special issues that trade journals often publish once or more times a year; these can include industry & market reports, buyer's guides (directories of suppliers), etc.
Organization of the Trade Journal Page
The journals are organized according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 2007 - Canada. 2, 3 and 4 digit codes are used to classify the publications.
The NAICS code is a standardized system, developed by statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States, that assigns numbers to each type of business activity. The larger the number the more specific the activity is, for example: 72 = "accommodation and food services", 7211 = "traveler accommodation", 721191 = "bed and breakfast". To learn more about this classification system visit Statistics Canada's page.
If you are unfamiliar with NAICS classification system you may want to browse it or keyword search it on Statistics Canada's website.
Tips for searching the Trade Journals page:
- Consider related categories which may be of interest. Examples:
- If your business is food wholesaling, also check the NAICS categories for food manufacturing (311) and food retailing (445: Food and Beverage Stores).
- When searching for a journal related to your business activity, consider both the activity you are engaged in and the industry you may be practicing in. For example, if your company manufactures steel materials for the construction industry, you might want to look at both the NAICS code for manufacturing of steel and for construction.
- Publications have only been classified under wholesale trade (41) if they deal directly with this topic.
- If your activity is marketing see categories for advertising, public relations, etc., which are found under Professional, Scientific and Technical Services (54). The term "marketing" is not used in NAICS as a business activity.
- The same publication may appear more than once if it is related to more than one business activity.
