Print Indexes
The index at the back of a book is a print index. It allows you to go quickly to a topic in the book. A phone book is another type of print index.

Electronic Databases
We usually think of searchable electronic indexes and catalogs when we refer to databases. WebCat, InfoTrac, EBSCOhost, and NewsBank are examples of electronic databases. They let you quickly find a topic in books or periodicals.
