In order to find articles on your topic, you will need to find a periodical index that covers disciplines or subject areas related to your research. In Mariner, the icon in front of the name of the index, tells you valuable information about the index and its usefulness to you. A sample of one of these descriptions appears below. Coverage includes references and abstracts to over 1,300 journals in more than 20 languages, and to book chapters and books in the English language. The database includes information from empirical studies, case studies, surveys, bibliographies, literature reviews, discussion articles, conference reports and dissertations.
Indexes point users to articles.
To logon to the Indexes, you will need a connection to the Internet from your machine and a web browser. You will also need a valid University of Maine System library card. Click on the title of the index you wish to search. You will be asked to give your last name and library barcode number. If you are having trouble, phone numbers are given on the screen for assistance.
