Two Types of Article Databases

2. Subject Databases

• Is your topic in a particular subject area?

If so, use a subject index. Subject indexes specialize in a particular subject, and the articles indexed are generally from scholarly sources. Examples of subject indexes and the kinds of articles they identify are:

	Indexes articles in business-related subjects such as management, finance, and advertising.
	Indexes articles in world history.
	Indexes articles in engineering, electronics, geology, etc.
