FINDING ARTICLES IN PERIODICALS/JOURNALS: Periodical indexes provide the most efficient subject access to journals, magazines, and newspapers.  Some indexes that might be useful include:

• Academic Search Premier (via EBSCO)
• Business Source Premier  (Via EBSCO)
• Lexis/Nexis (via PLU Library Website)
• Washington State Newsstand (via ProQuest)

LOCATING PERIODICALS/JOURNALS Use Journals at PLU to obtain the call number of the journal you need.  Current issues of journals are shelved on the first floor. Journals at PLU also gives you the location of any full-text journals we have online.
