DATABASES
A full-text database provides full-text access to periodical, journal, and magazine articles. In most case all you need to do is print out the article. From the Library Webpage, click on Journals and then click on General or a Broad Subject. Each database is designed so that you can usually search by keyword, subject, author, title or article, and/or title or the periodical. You also can limit by date as well as other parameters.

An index database provides a citation to the article, i.e. title of article, author, journal title, volume and issue number, page number, and date. You should check other databases for possible full-text coverage. You may need to consult the Catalog or Journals by Title to determine if the journal is owned by OSU-Tulsa Library in paper or microfiche.
