Philosophers Index …

Philosophers Index – the bane of the philosophy student’s existence, the first stop for researching any essay and the greatest hindrance to that research (so many articles that appear to be exactly what you think you need, and that turn out to be in volumes of journals that have disappeared from the Library in the past fifty years, or in the only issue that the Library didn't buy) – has finally been put to interesting use.
