Can Magazines Change the World?

It's too easy to overlook UCC's relatively tiny collection of print magazines. The low wooden stands in the middle of all the tables and hubbub are home to the current issues of 100+ titles -- current events magazines, peer-reviewed journals, and a handful
of "leisure reading" rags fill the rack. Also tucked in among these offerings are
a few publications designed to investigate the world we take for granted.

Mojo is focused on rock and roll; look for articles on the rock gods and godesses alongside introductions to new music and musicians, and how the music changes and stays the same. Orion examines our world where people and nature intersect. Ode aims itself at "intelligent optimists" and promotes ways to a healthier body, soul, and planet. Adbusters gets in your face to shock you into thinking about the downside of consumerism and the upside of a paradigm shift.

Even with a few thousand magazines and journals available through UCC library's online databases, sometimes it can be inspiring to pick up a paper magazine, particularly one designed to alter the way you look at the world.
