A journal article can also act as an excellent source of bibliographic references. Details of all the journals that the UWIC Library subscribes to can be located on the Library Division web site, under the Journals button. Since there are so many journals produced world-wide, it can be difficult finding articles on a particular subject. One way you can search for journal articles is to use the various indexes and abstracts available. Indexes are lists of articles that have been published in selected journals, giving basic bibliographic details.
Abstracts are similar to indexes, but they also have brief summaries of each article.
