- What Is A Periodical Index? A periodical index is a type of reference source that lists periodical articles by subject or author. If you have a topic in mind, a periodical index can help you find articles about that topic. An index will point you to the right periodical, the specific date or issue copy, and even the pages for a specific article. A periodical index works like a subject catalog for the articles within a group of magazines and journals. The process of using an index is similar to the process of doing subject or keyword searches for items in a library catalog.

- Periodical Index: A periodical index is a guide to the contents of periodicals. Some periodical indexes are general in coverage while others focus on a particular subject like agriculture, economics, or history. Periodical indexes can be arranged in numerous ways: by author, title of the article or subject. You would use a periodical index to find if there are articles about a certain topic or by a certain author. You would then have to go to the periodical itself to find the full article.
