Government publications, dissertations, papers presented at conferences, pamphlets, etc. may be indexed along with periodical articles in the indexes mentioned above, but sometimes you will need to use specialized indexes (Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government Publications, Dissertation Abstracts International, etc.) to locate these types of resources. Ask a reference librarian for advice. Note: Many federal and state government resources and other information are available on the Web.
