Finding Journal Articles Scholarly journals are the primary source of information in many fields. Articles in scholarly journals provide analysis and context for a topic. The Pullen library provides access to over 175 indexes to periodical literature.
Periodical indexes provide author and subject access to periodical literature.
Most periodical indexes list articles in specialized journals in particular fields. Many of the indexes are searched on the computer. Some indexes are in paper format. Records include the citation, plus a short description of the article. Therefore, you will usually need to use the online catalog to determine whether the journal itself is available in the library.
