1. INDEXES (Citations to articles in journals, conference papers, books, etc.) & BIBLIOGRAPHIES
NOTE: Core archaeological indexes ONLINE are preceded by an asterisk.
NOTE: Most of the listed indexes and bibliographies DO NOT in themselves contain online full-text articles. If they do not, to find out whether the articles in your citations are available online, search the Journal title (or book title) in CLIO. Be sure to note if the years covered online match the date of your citation. (Also, see section II: Electronic Journals. )
In addition, there is a service, E-Link, within many of the online indexes listed below. E-Link can be found as a button to the right of the citation. It provides direct links from a database citation to the full text of the article online (if available) and if full-text isn't available, E-Link checks CLIO, our library catalog, to see if the Libraries have what you need in print. E-Link will also help you submit an interlibrary loan request. Just click on the E-Link icon or text link for a menu showing the options available to you.
