BASIC GUIDE

• Use an Index to periodicals to find articles on a specific topic.
• These Indexes tell which issue of a journal has a specific article on a desired subject.
• The following are some of the significant indexes available through the UNL Libraries home page at http://iris.unl.edu. The direct link to the article index screen is http://library.unl.edu/screens/indexstart.html
• These indexes can be accessed from office or off campus. Instructions for off campus access can be found on the Engineering Library homepage.
• The article indexes will give you a reference, usually to a conference publication or to a journal issue that contains an article on the specific topic.
• Search the online catalog at http://iris.unl.edu to see if any of the UNL Libraries has the conference publication (select "keyword") or a subscription to the journal (select "journal title").
• Use the Interlibrary Loan service at http://www.unl.edu/libr/ill/ill.htm to request the article if it is not available through the UNL Libraries.
• Some journals are available electronically through the UNL Libraries. Information for "ELECTRONIC JOURNALS" is available at the end of this guide.
