An Index is a reference tool that helps you find articles in journals related to your topic of interest. Usually you look in an index by subject or keyword to find the citations of relevant articles. Once you have found the citation, the next step is to check the journal title (not the article title) in BobCat, Bobst Library's Catalog, to see if our library subscribes to the journal. For more information about finding journal articles or books at Bobst, please consult the NYU Library Tutorial Webpage
