Finding e-journals December 9, 2008
Posted by Andy Keck in : Library resources , add a commentThe best way to find e-journals titles continues to be using the Find e-Journals on the Divinity School Library’s webpage. The best way to find articles in e-journals continues to be using article databases like the ATLA Religion Database along with the GetIt@Duke functions.
e-Journals have become a significant part of libraries in the last fifteen years and finding an article within an e-journals can be complicated by restrictions to the full-text electronic content. Most typically, this comes in the form of an “embargo” that restrict electronic access for 3 months to 5 years in order to encourage additional subscriptions to the most recent content. If you have difficulties or questions, please don’t hesitate to ask us.
New Database: Patrologiae Graecae December 3, 2008
Posted by Andy Keck in : Databases , add a commentPatrologiae Graecae contains more than 160 volumes of Greek material (with Latin translations) relevant to the study of the history of the Christian Church from its beginnings through the Council of Florence in 1439.
PG is a collection of the writings of the church leaders who wrote in Greek, including both the Eastern “Fathers” and those Western Christians who wrote before the Latin takeover of the West in the third century. It includes, for example, the early writings collectively known as the Apostolic Fathers, such as the Epistles of Clement and The Shepherd of Hermas , the church historian Eusebius, the controversial theologian Origen, and the Cappadocian Fathers Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa. PG ’s coverage extends to 1439, the date of the Council of Florence.
