It doesn't give the name of the publication, because this index provides citations for the Wall Street Journal alone.  It also doesn't provide a year, because this index provides the citations one year per book, so you would know the year by the book you found the citation in.

 

Helpful Hints:                                                           

You can usually tell that an article is from a newspaper because:

  • The title of the publication will often be familiar, such as New York Times, Lewiston Morning Tribune, or Christian Science Monitor

  • Sometimes the citation will tell you which edition the article came from, such as Morning Edition.  That's a clue that the article is from a newspaper.

  • The citation will usually include information about a section, sometimes as part of the page number.  If you see a page number like C1, it is often an indication that the article is from a newspaper.

  • The citations for newspaper articles usually include a date but not a volume or issue number.

  • If you are unsure whether the article is from a newspaper, ask the Reference Librarian.
