Interlibrary loan services may be used to obtain copies of articles not found in this library or online. If you need articles, read scholarly journals versus popular magazines . The periodical indexes can be searched from the Library Reference Room workstations, from computer labs and from offices on campus. Search techniques vary from index to index, but many have the ability to look for your topic keywords in an online thesaurus, a list of subject terms, and in the full text of the index. Reference librarians can help you search the periodical indexes.
Online help is available too.
Ask a librarian about important print indexes, especially for finding older material. The Internet is an excellent source of information on many topics. From the Library Home Page select the Internet Search button. Search Engines like Alta Vista, HotBot or InfoSeek allow you to search throughout the Internet for your topic keywords. Sites like Yahoo have a hierarchical structure allowing you to browse through broad topics picking narrower and narrower lists.
