LibGuides: British Policy in the Middle East, 1914-1948: Periodical Indexes

Periodical Indexes

We use periodical indexes to find articles within scholarly journals. The online catalog shows which journals we have, but not what is within them; for this we use periodical indexes. Both keyword and subject heading/term searches are possible. For best quality retrieval, learn to look up the appropriate subject terms, akin to subject headings in the online catalog. Each database works differently.

Historical Abstracts with Full Text
Provides access to scholarly historical articles about the Modern period (1450 to the present) in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Latin America.
JSTOR
Searchable database of the full text of journals in anthropology, Asian Studies, business, ecology, economics, education, finance, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, political science, population studies, and sociology. Years available vary with each title, but the most recent issues available in JSTOR will likely be 4-5 years old. This database does not offer intellectually controlled subject heading searching. Obtain the most precise retrieval with keywords in the "item titles" using the advanced search form. Then scroll down and confine your results to journals in the field of history; this will help to ensure that your key words will be used the way historians would do.
Project Muse
Over six hundred journals from more than 240 not-for-profit, scholarly publishers are currently offered in Project Muse.
