Introduction
This guide is intended to help Harvard students and faculty find periodical articles on Asian studies. The HOLLIS Catalog does not include periodical articles. Articles are found via periodical indexes. This guide lists electronic and print periodical indexes on South and Southeast Asia. The index of first resort for Asian studies is usually Bibliography of Asian studies. There are many other indexes, some print and some electronic, which are more specialized, include book reviews, and/or cover the earlier literature. To find local periodical indexes not in this list, use the HOLLIS Catalog: "Indian periodicals indexes", "India Indexes Periodicals." Online resources are available through Harvard Libraries (Harvard ID and PIN required) unless otherwise indicated.
