Indexes
An index is a specialized database that organizes information
about the locations of articles in journals/magazines, reports
and newspapers; and book chapters, papers in conference proceedings,
and book reviews. Indexes provide the complete bibliographic
citation of an article, including the title of the article,
author, name of the journal, volume number, the pages of the
journal in which the article can be found, and a short summary,
or abstract, of the article. Some indexes are in book form,
and some are electronic databases. Some eletronic databases,
including Historical Abstracts, do NOT provide the complete
text of articles. For tips on how to effectively search databases,
and how to find journals that are not available on-line, contact
your librarian, or consult How to Find
Materials on History in the Waidner-Spahr Library .
