Looking for Academic Literature?

Below are the four best places to start searching for academic literature on your topic. Explore the tabs along the top for even more options.

ATLA Religion Database with ATLASerials (via EBSCOhost) This link opens in a new window This database combines the indexing from ATLA Religion Database with access to ATLA's online full-text collection of major religion and theology journals.
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 Provides indexing and abstracting, as well as some full-text coverage, of journals on religious history, biblical studies, epistemology, political philosophy, and the history of philosophy.
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.
JSTOR This link opens in a new window Provides full-text access to back issues (delay in coverage generally 3-5 years) of selected scholarly journals in history, economics, political science, demography, mathematics and other fields of the humanities, social sciences, and life sciences. The Library's access includes all Arts & Sciences Collections, the Life Sciences Collection, Business IV, and the Ireland Collection.
