In this tutorial, we've tried to introduce you to some of the techniques you will need to make use of the ATLA periodicals index on CD-ROM.

A more complete manual on paper will be found beside each of the computers running the ATLA database in the Reference Room and the Electronic Research Room.

Please remember that we have a highly skilled staff ready and willing to help you, and to teach you further methods to make your research more successful.
