Two Types of Article Indexes

2. Subject Indexes

  • Is your topic in a particular subject area?

If so, use a subject index. Subject indexes specialize in a particular subject, and the articles indexed are generally from scholarly sources. Examples of subject indexes and the kinds of articles they identify are:

BUSINESS SOURCE PREMIER
 Indexes articles in business-related subjects such as management, finance, and advertising.
Historical Abstracts
 Indexes articles in world history.
PHILOSOPHER'S INDEX
Indexes articles and books in philosophy.
