After browsing through the medical section of our library and looking at our medical magazines, you decide to write about cancer fighting drugs. Ask the librarian, or use the card catalog to find the subject number for your topic. Reference books have current, specific information that may help you. They are located across from the card catalog. Reference books cannot be checked out, but they can be copied.
Current issues are on the magazine stands.
Back issues can be checked out. Look in the tables of contents - many have regular columns that are excellent resources for papers. The Reader's Guide books by the magazines will index the mainstream magazines such as Time and Prevention. Another good source for articles is the Johnson County Library Periodicals Database which is available on the our library homepage. Vertical File .
