Discover Articles
Article indexes usually reveal, rather than deliver, articles.
Start with a keyword search to find your search terms in the citation or abstract. You'll then need to check whether Dartmouth owns the item.
Pay attention to subject headings for relevant items. Running another search with those headings may yield better results.

General Interest & Community Magazines & Newspapers
Baker-Berry Library has a small sampling of general-interest magazines, many of which get labelled as "men's magazines" or "women's magazines". Traditionally these have not been included in academic library collections, but in recent years we've seen increased demand for these magazines as primary documents. Public libraries often own a larger selection of popular press titles, but note that there is usually little if any back issue archive.
For mainstream newspapers, see the library's Newspapers & News research guide
In the library catalog
At present, subject headings are a bit inconsistent. The subject heading "Women's periodicals" is used for books about these periodicals, and often the periodicals themselves. There is a similar heading "Men's magazines" assigned to books about them, but not the magazines themselves. [For feminist publications, search the subject "Feminism -- Periodicals" (or "Feminism -- [country/region] -- Periodicals).]
