In the quest to read more books, it is easy to overlook the superb writing found in magazine articles. Like books, magazines cover an endless number of topics and interests from video games to fashion to astronomy. Now, with the power of the internet and St. Johns River State College’s library database Flipster, you can flip through and read the latest issues of digitized magazines to your heart’s content.
To access Flipster, all you need to do is sign into your SJR State account. On the MySJRState page, click on the “Library and Tutoring” link found in the green banner. This will take you to the Learning Resources home page. Then, click on “Databases,” and then under “Popular Databases,” you will find Flipster listed.
Flipster’s home page provides a list of all magazines that can be sorted by category. When clicking on a magazine, it opens just like a print version right off the magazine rack as seen below. For a more detailed view, click on the screenshot.
I recommend giving Flipster a try. Not only is Flipster a good way to find magazines to enjoy, but it can also be a potential avenue for research.
For more information about Flipster, check out the upcoming employee-only webinar hosted by the library. Click on the image below for more details.
