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.

| basement | Social Sciences and Humanities Index

| Basement | Poole's Index to Periodical Literature A guide to periodical literature published in 1802-1906.This is a hard index to use, so see a reference librarian. |
| Basement | Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature A general subject index to about 200 popular magazines. We have this index from 1915 to the present. |
| Basement | New York Times Index Index to the New York Times, a major national newspaper. The library has the New York Times from 1851 to the present on microfilm. The index is subject arranged. 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://www.nytimes.com/ref/membercenter/nytarchive.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

1. Where the Databases are located
These databases are all to be found on the SE Library's Electronic Resources Page at: http://www.se.edu/lib/electres.htm
2. What EBSCOHost and FirstSearch are
The word EBSCOhost or FirstSearch to the right of the database name in the table above indicates the name of the database vendor where you can find these databases. If you look at the list of links on the ELectronic Resources page, you will see the
links organized by the type of database that they are. You will find EBSCOhost and FirstSearch under the listing of databases called Periodical Databases. When you go down the list, you will see
at least two links for both EBSCOhost and FirstSearch. The first link is for those that are on the SE campus. Click on that link, and you will be taken to the list of databases under EBSCOhost or FirstSearch.
The second link is the off campus link. This link is necessary to use if you are off of the SE Campus. This link takes you to a page where you will be asked to type in a userid or authorization number, and a password.
The userid or authorization number and password to gain access to EBSCOhost and FirstSearch is available at the SE Library Reference Desk, and also is on the proxy server.
Step Four: Check to see if the the SE Library has the journal in paper
Step Five: Use InterLibrary Loan to obtain the article from another college library that has the journal that you want
1. Obtain an Interlibrary loan form from the circulation desk or go to an online InterLibrary Loan form at:
http://www.se.edu/lib/illjournalreq.htm for a journal article and http://www.se.edu/lib/illbookreq.htm
for Interlibrary loaning a book.
