Successful professionals\u00a0maintain currency in\u00a0their fields.\u00a0 One way of maintaining currency is to read journals in your field, which are written for professional practitioners (as opposed to\u00a0magazines written for the general public).\u00a0 Journals can help you keep track of trends, current controversies, and new developments, and as such, can foster new ideas and practices that you might want to apply.<\/p>\nYou can find journals in your field through the ESC library<\/a>; go to the library and use the Journal Finder, which brings you to a list of the\u00a0journals with full-text articles to which the library subscribes. Scan available journals, and see which ones might be useful to you and your profession.<\/p>\n
