Calvin T. Ryan Library's ROSI information gateway offers access to a wide variety of online periodical indexes. Periodicals provide access to very current information about various topics, report research results, and serve to update information found in books.
Indexing is available for popular periodicals, scholarly journals, and newspapers.
The full text of articles can be retrieved online from several of the indexes. In addition, the Library subscribes to over 1,550 periodical and newspaper titles in paper format. Several, including Academic Universe and Electric Library , index newspaper articles. The specialized subject indexes provide access to more scholarly journals and tend to not have the full text of articles available. To indicate if an index provides full text, a circle symbol is used in front of the index's title.
