Bibliographies and indexes:
To find magazine or journal articles, you should use an index, which may or may not include the actual articles. On the Research Resources page of the Library's web site, under the heading Resources by Subject , you'll find descriptions of specific indexes, arranged by topic.
Bibliographies:
These are one-time publications of lists of sources, often with some evaluation.

Retrieving cited articles is a little complex. For items in MLA and Historical Abstracts/America: History and Life , use the 
button to see if electronic full text is available. If it isn't, click on "Search the catalog by journal title" under "Additional options" to check for Drew's paper and microform holdings. In ITER , this option is not yet available. Instead, you will need to check for the journal title (not the title of the article) in both Full Text Electronic Journal Holdings and the Drew Catalog , in "Browse."
A guide to the process of determining if we own a specific magazine or journal is available under Database Guides on the Research Help page.
