BOOKS:  Our computerized catalog provides access to the materials in our library.  Use the Library of Congress Subject Headings to identify the best subject headings for your topic.  Some topics that might be of interest:

FINDING ARTICLES IN PERIODICALS/JOURNALS:  Periodical indexes provide the most efficient subject access to journals, magazines, and newspapers.  Indexes relevant to your topic include:

EBSCO(via PLU Library Website)  A multi-disciplinary database that indexes roughly 4,500 journals, magazines, and newspapers with 3,600 titles in full text. Of those, nearly 2,600 titles are full text scholarly (peer reviewed) publications. This academic database provides full text journal coverage for nearly all academic areas - including social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and education.

ERIC (via PLU Library Website) Indexes and abstracts articles, books, theses, conference proceedings, and unpublished papers (ERIC documents) in education, 1967 to present. Some full text is available for selected journals when searching simultaneously with the EBSCO Academic Search Premier database.

Lexis-Nexis (via Library Website) Provides access to a range of news, business, legal, and reference
information. It is particularly strong in its news coverage, featuring mostly full-text articles from newspapers around the world. It is also strong in its law coverage, offering full text from law reviews, federal case law, and state case law.

ProQuest (via PLU Library Web site)  This is a family of databases that cover many topics.  Many full-text journal articles are included.
 
 
 

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.  Older issues (bound volumes and microfilm) are on the second and third floors, shelved with the books. Journals at PLU also identifies any full-text online journals PLU has available.
