A motif is a reoccurring thematic element in a story, tale, legend or other similar work of literature. Select possible books from the bibliography. The next step is to check the UF Libraries Catalog to see if the libraries own the book and to get the book's location and call number. The following selective list of periodical indexes in print or electronic format are helpful for identifying articles in magazines and journals.
Different indexes use different subject headings and arrangements.
Please come to the Reference Desk if you have questions about using any of these indexes. The journals listed below are shelved on the third floor of Library West, in the Periodical Collection, unless noted otherwise. Check the UF Libraries Catalog in WebLUIS for more detailed information, or to find a journal that is not listed. If you have a reference to a journal that the UF Libraries do not own, you may make an Interlibrary Loan request . There is usually no charge, but be prepared to wait from two to four weeks.
