The primary purpose of scholarly journals is to inform and to report on original research or experimentation. A journal index is a compilation of short records (or citations) describing journal articles or books that have been arranged alphabetically by subject.
A citation will tell you:
The TUG Libraries Journal Indexes page provides Web access to most of UW's indexes. Some journal indexes may link to full-text articles.
You may also browse and search our collection of Full-Text Electronic Journals.
Search commands may vary from index to index. Most include easily readable Help screens or online tutorials.
Most journal indexes are commercially produced and provide citations from more sources than can be housed at any one library. It is necessary therefore, to search the full journal title (not the title of the article!) in Primo to see if one of the TUG libraries owns it.
If the journal is at the University of Guelph, or Wilfrid Laurier University, or Annex, you can request that the article you want be delivered to the University of Waterloo Library.
If you do NOT find the journal you want in Primo at all, use Interlibrary Loan/Document Delivery and staff will obtain the article for you to pick up at a University of Waterloo Library.
