Online Catalog

Use NUcat (the online catalog) to identify books that the library has, as well as journal titles, microfilm, videos, and other catalogued material. Books are excellent sources of overviews and substantial material on a particular topic, but do not necessarily reflect the most current events. NUcat will also tell you whether material is in the main library or in another Northwestern University library.

Selected Indexes to Articles

Use indexes to track down articles in journals. Articles usually have a specific focus, are relatively short, and are very current. Some indexes, particularly the general ones, include the full text of the article. You can find the indexes by going to the library's home page and selecting "Electronic Resources." Type in the name of the index that you need from the "Quick Search" menu.
