Two
Types of Article Indexes
Which
article index to use depends upon your topic.
1. General Article Indexes
- Is
your topic general or cross-disciplinary?
- Currently
in the news?
If so, start
with one of the general article indexes. These cover a wide range
of subjects and often index a mixture of popular
and scholarly sources. This is often a good place to
begin research. Examples of general indexes and the kinds of articles
they identify are:
|
ACADEMIC SEARCH PREMIER
|
Indexes articles from magazines and journals on a range of
topics. Many are full text. |
LEXIS-NEXIS |
Indexes
full-text newspaper articles from local, national and international papers. |
