Finding Articles Not Available in Library Subscription Databases
Print Periodical Indexes are used to locate magazine, journal and newspaper articles. These indexes are useful for locating information on a topic not currently covered in the news or to get a sense of how the event was published at the time. They are the only access tool for finding periodical articles published before the mid 1980s. Most print periodical indexes are hardbound annually in book form and must be searched using a separate volume for each year. These sources only list citations of articles and do not contain the full text of the article. The citation gives you all of the information you need to locate the actual article from the actual magazine. Most of the library's older periodicals are stored on microfilm and microfiche. If you are unable to locate an article in our collection, you can request an InterLibrary Loan (ILL) form at the Reference Desk in the library (sorry there is no online form). ILL will locate a copy of the article and notify you when it is available at the Circulation desk for pick up. It can take up to 2 weeks or more for delivery of materials.

Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature is a print periodical index used to locate topics of general interest. It can be searched by subject terms, keyword and often by author.
