This is a subject and author index to selected English language periodicals in anthropology, area studies, criminal justice, economics, family studies, geography, gerontology, international relations, law, minority studies, planning and public administration, policy studies, politics, psychology, social work and public welfare, sociology, urban studies, women's studies, and related subjects. It covers the years 1984 - present. This index is on the computer workstations to the right of the Information Desk in Crumb Library. The response is a list of subject headings alphabetically close to the terms typed. Use the F8 function key on the keyboard to look at the related terms.
Most databases allow for a variety of types of searches.
As we saw earlier, WilsonDisc's Single Term Search is simple to use, but limits the search to a single term - a term defined by the Wilson company. The Multiple Term Search is a more powerful method of searching. These features are especially helpful for complex searches.
