Online Indexes 

Most of these databases index articles in journals, magazines and newspapers, some 
provide summaries as well, and some link to the full-text of the article. For those that 
do not you will need to note the details of what you found and then look the item up in 
the UC Berkeley Oskicat catalog to determine its campus location. UC Berkeley
students, faculty, and staff may access these databases (and more) from UCB campus 
computers, by using the Berkeley campus modem pool, or via the Library's proxy server
service.
