Military–Database
Air University Library’s Index to Military Periodicals
“The Air University Library’s Index to Military Periodicals is a subject index to significant articles, news items, and editorials from English language military and aeronautical periodicals. The Index contains citations since 1990 and is updated quarterly as the hard copy version of the AULIMP is released.” This is not a full-text database, only bibliographic citations.
See Also: The Dudley Knox Library at the Naval Postgraduate School offers a very impressive collection of direct links that can save you time finding answers to many military related “ready reference” questions. Make sure to check out other pages in the Knox Library “Resources By Topic” Directory.
