Guides to databases

A journal is a periodical, something which is published at regular intervals. Other types of periodicals include newspapers, magazines, serials and annual reviews.

The University Library catalogue will tell you whether or not a particular journal is held at UNE, but it will not tell you the articles contained within the issues of a journal. For that, you need to use a journal index. eSKILLS UNE can help you understand the principles of using indexes.
