China and Inner Asia Bibliography
Periodicals
Some of the most current information on a topic will be found in magazines or
journals and newspapers. College research should be focused on the information
found in the scholarly journals of each field, ie, the articles are written by
an expert in the field, there is a bibliography at the end of the article, or
extensive footnotes, and the journal is cited by other "experts" in
the field.

- present. Newspaper indexes also provide a rough chronology of events for a certain
year. The newspaper indexes are located in the Microform Alcove, 2nd floor N.
