Indexes only provide citations for articles. You can
search the indexes by keyword, title, author, source, etc. but you will
always need to look elsewhere for the actual text of the article. Abstracts are really called
Indexes and Abstracts because they both index the literature and provide
a brief summary of the article; i.e., an abstract. As with the Indexes, you will need to look
elsewhere for the text of the article. Full Text databases provide
the indexing, and sometimes also the abstracting, but are especially
useful because the contain the full text of the articles. Some
databases, like LexisNexis, have only the text where others like
Factiva contain images of the articles.
