New resources for religion

With the library's migration of ATLA and ATLA Serials from CSA to EBSCOHost, three new religion databases are now available to our users.

The Old Testament Abstracts features citations and abstracts to books, journal articles, multi-author works, and software related to Old Testament studies. Indexing includes 450 journal titles and goes back to 1978.

The New Testament Abstracts contains more than 38,000 article abstracts, 1,200 review abstracts, 13,500 book abstracts, and 50 software abstracts going back to 1985.

The Catholic Periodical Literature Index covers all aspects of the Catholic faith and lifestyle, and includes over 380,000 citations to articles and reviews published in Roman Catholic periodicals, Papal documents, church promulgations, and books.

We hope you enjoy access to these important resources in the field of religion!
