The Library.

Academic libraries contain resources that have been selected for their authority and relevance to academic study, and are certainly a good place to look for scholarly material. Most library catalogues are now available electronically and can be searched by subject, author and title, amongst other characteristics. Most library catalogues do not contain descriptions of individual periodical articles, however, only of the periodicals that they hold. Periodical articles are published regularly and are a good source of the most up-to-date information. Since you can't search the library catalogue for individual articles, you may need to search elsewhere for more up-to date information.
