Includes manuscripts written as early as the 11th century. To find articles you must use periodical indexes. Although a few journal databases are full text, most journal indexes list only article citations and do not include the full text of the articles. You must locate the journal in order to find and read the article you need. Search Blais by title of the journal to determine if the Libraries own the journal you need.
Indexes are available in both paper and electronic formats.
The Libraries have both paper and electronic versions of many indexes. Keep in mind, whether you are looking for articles in scholarly journals or popular magazines, most electronic indexes only cover fairly recent publications. Many do not cover articles written before the 1980's. If you need to find earlier articles, you will probably have to use paper indexes. If you need a scholarly article on your subject, written by an expert and based on research, use an index which covers scholarly journals.
