I don't undertsand your point. since when did Academic journals provide inspiration and ideas? Dud post. You're posting because you're scared, rather than for a reason. We're coming to get you FC!

Scared? I'm confused by your comment. I've actually gotten a _lot_ of ideas from academic and sociopolitical journals -- even literary journals -- over the course of my career. It's all in the tweaking... what do you _do_ with what you read? Materials from practices I'm not involved in can often shake up enough dust to reconceive a notion. This tool is an easy way to make accessing those ideas easier. If you don't find it useful, don't use it. No skin off my nose!

Academia provides one of the greatest paradoxes of mankind.
On one hand schools tend to be out of date, teaching old stuff that is years beyond it's usefulness.
Example, I went back to my university to offer doing a couple sales courses. Now in liberal arts over 50% of grads go into sales-related work. However, I was told that to add a course on sales one semester would mean dropping one of six economics classes. Why not drop all six of them?
In contrast, some phenomenal research is done, continually, by the academic world. If you're a business pro and read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell how could you ignore Paul Ekman's work on recognizing emotions by facial muscle movement? This had great value for managers, salespeople and those interested in better personal interaction.
So yes, keep looking at the academic resources out there, there are more diamonds lurking than you could possibly imagine.

This is list of journals is attractive "bait" to those of us seeking new perspectives and/or new topics/new resources...if we could only access the alphabetical list of journals shown...but only students and staff at The University of Saskatchewan can access this. How disappointing!
