| New database: Southern Baptist Periodical Index
We're happy to introduce the latest addition to the library's databases, the Southern Baptist Periodical Index (SBPI). This great little index allows searching across around 100 magazines and other periodicals published by historically Southern Baptist Convention-related organizations.
Click here to find it in our database portal.
(Note: to find an article once you've found its citation in SBPI, look up the title of the magazine in which it was published in the Full-Text Journal Finder.)
