The Melvyl®/CDL Catalog does not index journals.
Cruzcat and CDL/Periodicals indexes journals at the title-level
but not the contents of individual journals. To locate journal
articles use a periodical index and/or abstracting service. Most
topics may be successfully researched in general indexes such as Expanded
Academic ASAP aka CDL Article Databases
or the Reader's
Guide to Periodical Literature. More specific topics may
require the use of specialized subject indexes (print or electronic),
some of which also contain abstracts or text of the articles.
