Indexes

What are indexes? Database (print or electronic) to identify articles (and sometimes reports, dissertations, books) written on a particular topic. Index tells what has been published on a topic not what the library owns on a topic.

Choosing the right index There are hundreds of indices available in the library. What index to use? Depends on the topic – the discipline Depends on the format of material you want – scholarly journal articles, magazine or newspaper articles, dissertations, etc. Depends on the era for which you want material – primary or secondary sources
