Databases and printed indexes are tool that assist in the identification of articles on your topic. There are a number of electronic databases and a few printed resources that are recommended in finding popular articles in magazines such as Hispanic, Latina!, Hispanic Business, etc. I have listed some below with a short description on thier coverage. Keeping in mind the interdisciplinary nature of Chicano Studies, consultation with a librarian is strongly advised when selecting databases since a more appropriate database or resource may be available depending on the research topic.
