After identifying one or more items in one of the online indexes in this guide, the next step is virtually or physically tracking down the article(s) in the indexed journal or book in our collection.
Some of the indexes in this guide have the "Find Text at M.S.U." feature enabled. Humanities Abstracts, America: History and Life, and Historical Abstracts do. A portion of the items indexed in ATLA/ATLAS have links in the index to online versions of the full texts of the articles, too. For these, it is easy, more or less. Just click on the Find Text at M.S.U. link, or the Full Text PDF link within, or below, your index entry to be taken to the full text of the journal article when you are in your lists of search results. If this does not work first try looking up the journal name in E Books and Journals. If you do not find the journal there, then look in Books and Media, to see if we have a paper/cloth bound copy. If you do not find it there, then try requesting it via interlibrary loan.
