Well, I had the HARDEST time trying to find a journal for my department, I e-mailed 3 professors, asked my advisor, and went to the library, but no one would really help me, so I ended up reading articles from the National Parks and Recreation magazine. I actually learned some things that are going on in my major and how NRPA is trying to get departments to reach out to communities more and in different ways.
All of the articles had the same kind of structure. It stated a problem, then it would tell of a solution to the problem, which reminded me of our project we are currently working on for class. I also thought it was off since the articles I read did not have the same author. It was also an easy read for me. I was able to tell that the audience was for those who are involved in Parks and Recreation because it was the main focus of every article.
In conclusion, I enjoyed reading these articles because it made me aware of issues that I will need to be aware of when I go into my career.

sounds successful! I had kind of a difficult time in the beginning as well due to finding non "scholarly" articles or articles of none of my interest. In the end the Journal I ready turned out successful also. I'm thinking about trying to find some other scholarly articles in a different engineering discipline to see if I may like it better.
I thought reading these articles turned out to be very interesting. I may have not gone looking for a scholarly journal to read had it not been for this class. I ended up reading some very interesting articles and learned a lot about some of the research going on in my major.
