The MU Libraries have decided to use the convenient and wide-reaching WWW to allow access to the library collections. If you are accustomed to surfing the web, searching via this graphical interface is similar to any search engine you have used. You can search the library's holdings by author, subject or title and browse the virtua l shelves. Indexes are the key to researching with articles. You can search the contents of publications by subject or keyword to find a list of related articles.
Indexes organize by identifying material and categorizing subjects.
The library subscribes to several index services that even provide articles in full text. Use your Boolean search skills and knowledge of search engines to retrieve articles on your topic. Users may search by keyword, subject, title, journal or author to obtain the full text from journals published by Johns Hopkins University press. They are not full text but provide detailed summaries and citations for materials you can retrieve from the library collection. Web Resources and Online Tools are also accessible from the library's Homepage.
