In a prior edition of this study, we examined whether the established online communication studies indexes-Communication Abstracts, ComIndex, and ComAbstracts-provided a good avenue of access to the journal literature that researchers in the field cite and whether, where the current journal literature was concerned, that avenue of access might be equal or superior to that provided by large, multisubject online indexes.

Librarians, faculty, and professional researchers, and students already encounter difficulties in locating journal articles for the field of archaeology, yet, in the current budgetary climate, librarians needing to reduce subscription costs may be tempted to cancel smaller, discipline-specific indexes in favor of large multisubject indexes with broad coverage. This study examines and compares the coverage provided to 208 archaeology and archaeologyrelated journals and magazines by six multi-subject indexes and by anthropology's primary index, Anthropological Literature, over a twenty year period (1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007).
