Frequently Asked Question about
Research at McFarlin Library

Where can I find magazine and journal articles on my research topic?

Answer:

To find articles published in periodicals (either magazines or journals), you must use an index. An index is a publication that identifies published articles.

The Library provides you with access to indexes in two different formats: print and online. Indexes available only in the first format, print, must be used in the library. Indexes available on the Internet are accessible from offices, dorm rooms, or from home. McFarlin Library provides access to all these databases. Included is a listing of databases by subject so that you may quickly locate a journal index relevant to your particular topic.
