Databases include the citations
of articles in magazines, journals and newspapers.
Some periodical databases contain
abstracts or
brief summaries of the articles. Many contain the full
text (entire content) of articles as they originally
appeared in the periodical.
Periodical Databases, purchased by
University Library, are accessible from the library's
homepage. The library also owns print indexes, good for
researching older materials.For example, the New
York Times print index goes back to 1851!
