LB 056 Introduction The South Dakota Periodicals Index is a subject and author index to selected periodicals and annuals published in South Dakota. Its purpose is to facilitate the location ofinformation about thepeople, places, events, and issues that make South Dakota a special place. As reference librarians at South Dakota State University we are aware of the difficulty of finding specific information about South Dakota. National periodical indexes provide very limited coverage of South Dakota, andit is not unusual to search through many different indexes without finding a single reference to the state. In 1984 we completed A5%ri;ey ofSouth Dakota Periodicals (Bethesda, MD: ERIC Document Reproduction Sendee, ED 245 710), and we realized that much valuable information about the state is available in these publications. However, we also realized that access tothatinformation islimited. Most ofthese fine publica- tions are not indexed in the national indexes. This is especially true for publications that are intended for those outside thescholarly community. Because ofthesmall circulation and limited promotional budgets of many of these publications, most people are not aware of their existence or of their usefulness. Therefore important information pertaining to local and state topics may be found only by those individuals who regularly read these publications. Others are left with serendipitous discovery methods. This index was conceived asthebestway to facilitiate use oftheinformation inSouth Dakota publications. We believe the creation of an index covering several of these publications brings together a substantial source of useful information about South Dakota. The index should provide access to these publications even though usersmay not have priorknowledge ofthem. By using thisindex, people across thestate, and elsewhere, can identify useful information even though the publications may not be owned by libraries in their area. Regular interlibrary loan procedures through local libraries may be used to obtain copies of rele vant articles. TheSouthDakotaPeriodicalsIndexis not intendedto bea comprehensive source ofallarticlesaboutSouth Dakota inperiodicals or annual publications. It does not index publications which are published outside the state. It also does not index all publications which are published in the state. Staffing and budgetary realities necessitated that we included only a selected list of South Dakota publications which we believed would provide the most useful information to the greatest number of people. ifUthough scholarly articles are included, we view the target audience of the index to consist mainly of citizens ofSouth Dakota and other persons interested in the state. Topics covered by the index are highly eclectic because ofthediversity ofthepublications indexed. Basically, we have tried toinclude publications which illumina.te the rich history, culture, and artistryofthe state along with its social, economic, and en vironmental diversity. Some short fiction, poetry, and photographic essays also are indexed. All types of South Dakotans are represented by the listed articles, including: farmers, politicians, city folks. Native Americans, ethnic minorities, teachers, fishermen, and manyothers. This retrospective index covers material published from 1982 through 1986. We arecommitted to continu ing the index with regular supplements in the future. Tentatively we plan to issue annual supplements with multi-year cumulations. Production aiid publication ofthis index would not have been possible without the help and support ofmany people. We must acknowledge at least a few of these individuals: Todd Erickson—Student Programmer. Todd did an excellent job of translating our many demands into computer language and forcing the computer to deliver an acceptable product. Elizabeth Tucker—Student Assistant. Liz typed virtually every word inthis index with remarkable accuracy andspeed at a computer terminal in the library. Leon Raney—Dean of Libraries, SDSU. Dr. Raney's continuing encouragement and support made this project possible. Again, we have tried to produce an index which will make it easier to locate information about South Dakota. We also wanted to highlight some ofthe fine publications andauthors in South Dakota. We believe this index takes a step toward those goals. Clark N.

Selective indexing of the South Dakota Law Review excludes material which deals with global legal issues, i.e., that which is not specifically related to South Dakota. Substantive articles do not include brief announcements of events or other articles of only a few sentences. Generally, substantivearticles also donot include organization/membership news,letters to the editor, etc. A few articles are indexed although they do not pertain to South Dakota because they appear in publications which we index fully and they are substantive. Generally, each indexed article is listed under as many as five subject headings and under as many as five author's names. In all cases, an attempt is made to adequately describe the contents of each article, and more subject headings are assigned
