Purpose: Scholarly and Trade Scholarly articles and publications exist for one purpose: the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge. Scholarly sources are not concerned with selling issues to make a profit; their goal is to get information to professors, researchers and scholars. Trade sources pursue knowledge; but on a less formal style than scholarly sources. As we have seen, the information provided in trade sources is much less rigid in several areas (format, language) than scholarly sources. Although trade and scholarly sources differ, they both pursue the advancement of knowledge and information. Scholarly is more research orientated; while the trade source is more practical and hands on. ![]() Cunningham Memorial Library, 650 Sycamore St., Terre Haute, IN 47809 812.237.2580 September 19th, 2003 Maintained by: Tutorial Task Force Copyright © 2003 Indiana State University Comments and Feedback |
