7/7/09 -- Try the New Religion Databases

If you search the library databases regularly, you will notice that the interface for the ATLA Religion Database has changed. We now subscribe to ATLA via EBSCOHost. If you have not tried the new interface, take a moment to see what you think:

ATLA Religion Database on EBSCOHost

One reason for this change is that EBSCOHost provides five major religion databases: ATLA, Old Testament Abstracts, New Testament Abstracts, Catholic Periodical Literature Index, and the Christian Periodical Index. With EBSCOHost, you can search all five databases at once:

All Religion Databases

This new arrangement now provides greater access to journal articles in religion, theology, and biblical studies with enhanced linking to the full text available in any of the library databases.
