I don’t lose a lot of sleep over this question but the fact
remains that I think about it at odd times: How do we get good online resources out to our patrons? I wrote
earlier this fall about the Depth and
Breadth of our periodical collection. I’d like to emphasize the many online, full-text options that are available to you.
To find serial content: look for a
journal in our A-Z list.
Some of the titles we’ve added access to this fall are:
·
Ecclesiology:
Journal for Mission ,Ministry, and Unity
·
Horizons
in Biblical Theology
·
Pneuma
·
Journal
for the Study of the Historical Jesus

Or look for articles in one of these databases (use HomeLab if off-campus):
·
Academic Search Premier
·
ATLA
Religion Database (also includes ATLAS)
·
New Testament Abstracts Online
·
Old Testament Abstracts Online
·
AgeLine
ATLAS is one of
our very best resources. This acronym refers to the Full-text journal articles that are available through the American Theological Library Association’s Religion Database. “Serials” is one of those
library-geek-speak terms for literature that comes out periodically, or
serially.
This month’s ATLAS report from ATLA noted
that over 8, 050 articles and reviews were added with the November update. Here
are three of the 11 new titles that were added:
·
Christianity and Literature, by
Pepperdine University
·
Ecotheology, by Equinox (Continued by Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature
and Culture)
·
Pure Land (new series), by
International Association of Shin Buddhist Studies 
Don’t limit yourself by just looking for resources in the
Library’s collection (MARTIN). Try one of our serial options. Be sure to use
your HomeLab account if you are
accessing these resources off-campus.
