Unlike books, the contents of journals are not available in the SE library catalog. So where are they located? They are located in magazine and journal indexes. Magazine and journal indexes assign a subject to each article in each journal indexed in the magazine and journal index. Until the 1990's most magazine and journal indexes were in paper, now they are almost all on the Internet. Some of these journal indexes on the Internet index popular magazines, other scholarly, while others are devoted to one subject area, NO Journal Index indexes every journal that is published, so they are selective.
Step One: Look in a Periodical Index
A periodical index is a publication that indexes the content of periodicals. There are many different periodical indexes, some general and some subject specific. One thing needs to be made clear: There is not any periodical index that indexes every single periodical being published today. So each index is selective in what periodicals it indexes. Periodical indexes tend to index the most important or most popular or most respected or well known periodicals.
PAPER PERIODICAL INDEXES
For many years periodical indexes were published in paper, like a book. They would usually come out every few months with an update, and then come out at the end of the year with an annual cumulation. Paper periodical indexes are cumbersome to use and take some take to look at every year, but they can contain information on many valuable articles written sometimes years ago, and paper indexes are valuable places to search for topics in music, drama, art, literature and history.

Paper indexes begin in 1929, and from 1851 to 1928 they are on microfiche. There is an online Index to the New York Times available at: http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/nytimes/advancedsearch.html |
ONLINE PERIODICAL INDEXES
In the 1980's many Paper Periodical Indexes became digitized and now most periodical indexes are online on the Internet. In this form they can still be called indexes, but they are usually referred to as DATABASES.Why use online databases?
There is a disadvantage to online databases for those who are researching topics in history or literature
Some Online Databases that the SE Library Has
