The Humanities Index for Archaeology What is the Humanities Index? The Humanities Index is an index to references from over 320 Humanities journals including 64 archaeological titles.
Why do I need it? Archaeological reports, data and articles are published in many sources and it is not possible for the library to purchase everything. However, by using the Humanities Index you can find out about some of the literature published in other sources and we can obtain it for you through our inter-library loan service. The Humanities Index is particularly useful because it indexes publications from the archaeological societies of the UK. A complete list of the publications is included at the end of this guide. How do I access it?
Go to LibrarySearch from the Library tile of the Student Portal or the Library Services website (http://www.canterbury.ac.uk/library). Log in using your CCCU username and password. Select Find Databases, click on H, then click on the link to Humanities Index to open it in a tab.
How do I search it?
Enter your keywords in the search box and press ENTER.
A list of references to articles that match your search will be displayed.
