Searching for Periodicals:

Here are some stategies for finding Perodicals with listings of issues:

1. "Title phrase in Quotes"  filetype:pdf  

Search Operators:

Filetype Operator, especially PDF Operator: To find all the PDFs that have the term or phrase in the PDF: "subject or subject phrase" filetype:PDF  (no space after the colon); If you want to search any other file type, eg Excel=xls, Word=doc, etc, just use th same format; 

Site Operator: To search within a given website for any subject, term, person, name, etc;

site:wxyz.com (space) (term, name, phrase, etc, in or out of quotes)

For example, to search in the old Geocities website, which had 38 million used created websites, you have to search in ReoCities.com, since Geo Cities was disbanded in 2009 by Yahoo.

Linksto operator: Tell all websites that have links to a specific domain name; For example you can tell everyone who has created a link to wisewiki.org, SSE's website, etc. 

linkto:wxyz.com; or linksto:wisewiki.org

Google Alerts:

You can set up a Google Alert to tell whenever someone mentions wisewiki.org or makes a link to it; 

Subjects/Terms and their Subject Trees

DMOZ Advanced Subject search: Use this to determine what DMOZ category a given term is under in their "subject tree", since Alexa, Yahoo, Google, and others use the DMOZ subject tree:
