Periodical Indexes
- For locating articles in periodicals (magazines, journals and newspapers) the most efficient tool is a periodicals index, available from your library's web site.
- Your library pays an annual subscription to one or more periodicals databases that provide access to thousands of articles in periodicals.
- Indexes provide citation information about articles, including the author, title of article, name of periodical, volume/issue, date and page numbers.
- Google Scholar can also lead you to articles in scholarly journals and books.
- When searching any database, take the time to get to know the special features. Done! Back to Menu >>
