Indexes & Abstracts for Periodical Literature

Introduction

This is a selected list of indexes and abstracts that will allow researchers to search for legal and other periodical literature by subject, author or keyword. Many of these sources are only available in print format.

Where an index or abstract does not link to the full text of an article, check for availability of the periodical containing the article by searching the UO Library Catalog and the Electronic Journals page for the title of the periodical. In most cases, you will get a call number to use in locating the periodical in the Library. Other times, you may get a link taking you to the text of various issues of the periodical.

For help with any of these resources, and for additional research help, go to the Reference Desk on the 2d floor of the Law Library or send a message to lawref@uoregon.edu
