Looking for Quality Information / Journal articles /Books/Ebooks?
Below are the four best places to start searching for academic literature on your topic.
- ATLA Religion Database with ATLASerials (via EBSCOhost) This link opens in a new window
- Library Search | Ketu This link opens in a new window Library Search | Ketu provides fast, simple, one-step searching across the University of Otago Library's resources. It is designed to make it quick and easy to begin researching a topic. It is not a replacement for the detailed and precise search tools available from individual subject specific databases.
- Religion & Philosophy Collection This link opens in a new window This database indexes journals on religious history, biblical studies, epistemology, political philosophy, and the history of philosophy. Some full text but mostly reference and abstract only.
- Religion Database (ProQuest) This link opens in a new window Contains primarily full-text, international periodicals for diverse religious and spiritual studies, covering formal theological studies of major religions, as well as the most recent trends and scholarly thought. Included are titles from religious publishing bodies and nondenominational organisations.
