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.  Here are some indexes that will be useful:

Business Source Premier ( via EBSCO)  This business database contains 2,804 full text scholarly journals and business periodicals covering such areas as: management, ethics, economics, finance,
accounting, and international business.

EBSCO Academic Search Premier (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. Off campus access requires PLU ePass username and password.
 
 

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 gives you the location of any full-text journals we have online.
