A periodical index points to citations of articles in
magazines, journals and newspapers. Many periodical indexes
contain abstracts or brief summaries of the articles. Some
contain the full text or entire content of whole articles as
they originally appeared in the periodical. You may use
online periodical indexes, purchased by your library, from
any Internet-connected computer.
