INDEXES

Use electronic or print indexes to identify journal articles. Once you have a citation, check The Periodical Cat (corresponds to the print CSC Periodical Holding List) to see if St. Kate's owns the journal or has access to it from an online database. If CSC does not own the journal, you can request a copy of the article through interlibrary loan. Please allow 1-2 weeks to process your request.

Electronic indexes

Print indexes
All print indexes are available on the Lower Level Indexes area of St. Kate's library.
