Some indexes also have abstracts which are short summaries of what the article is about.
Use the abstract to help you decide whether or not the article is suitable for your paper. Once you have recorded or printed the needed information from the index, you will need to check to see if Booth Library owns the periodical that the article is in. Or you can look through the bound computer printouts which are located near the computer terminals in the Reference Room and outside, and upstairs in the Periodicals area. There are two kinds of indexes, print and electronic. Print indexes are located in the Reference Room.
