You will need to come to the Library in order to complete this portion of the Discovery Task. These discovery tasks are independent learning activities which will introduce you to the process of using a periodical index to find journal articles about a subject. Read ALL the instructions before you begin the assignment. By following the instructions on the screen, you can locate the information you need. Examples of periodicals are Sports Illustrated, Los Angeles Times, or Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature .
Periodicals are available in print, on microfilm and microfiche and electronically.
In this exercise, you will locate an article in a print or microform journal. A periodical index is a library reference tool which helps you find information on a topic in a newspaper, magazine or scholarly journal. A periodical index in an electronic format is often referred to as a database . Examples of periodical indexes are the Magazine and Journal Articles database, Bibliography of Asian Studies, and the MLA International Bibliography . Citations, in the research world, have nothing to do with traffic tickets.
