Loan Department. Selected Indexes to ArticlesUse 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 top right corner of this page and clicking on "Electronic Resources." Type in the name of the index that you need from the "Quick Search" menu. Locating the
full text of the article You can also locate the full article by directly searching on the journal title, not the article title, in NUcat. You can then check to see whether the library owns the journal or periodical and if so, what issues/dates are owned and in what format (hard copy, electronic, microtext). To identify journal articles, try these periodical indexes and bibliographies—PsycINFO (Indexes
