Print periodical indexes
The library owns all of the following periodical indexes in paper format.
All of our indexes provide citations for periodical articles, but some
also provide abstracts or short summaries of article content. It
is important to utilize these indexes as well as the electronic databases,
which also index periodical articles. For some subjects, the best
index available in this library may be a paper index. Some of the
paper indexes also index selected books and provide book reviews.
Paper indexes may index publications that the electronic databases do
not. Although the library may not own the publications indexed,
the articles may be available in full text in our electronic databases.
Any article or book can easily be obtained through the interlibrary
loan process.
