The ATLA Religion Database is an essential tool for the study of religion. It is the premier index to journal articles, book reviews, and collections of essays in all fields of religion. The fact that many publishers solicit the inclusion of their journals in ATLA Religion Database is indicative of the stature it has achieved in the community of religion scholars.
The 1.4 million+ records in the ATLA Religion Database include:
- 416,000+ journal article records
- 211,700+ essay records from 15,700+ multi-author works
- 432,000+ book reviews of 208,6000+ books
- 1,580 journal titles; 571 of which are currently indexed
- languages: 60% English, 8% German, 6% French, 1% Spanish, 1% Italian, 24% Other
Journals are selected for inclusion according to their scholarly merit and scope. Journals representing all the major religious faiths, major denominations, and numerous language groups are included.
ATLA's indexing of multi-author works, such as Festschriften and conference proceedings, is unique among religion databases. Unlike indexes that catalog books of essays as a single entry, ATLA indexes each individual essay in such works.
ATLA Religion Database is available in three electronic formats: CD-ROM, MARC21, and online. Each of these access options is described in detail in: ATLA Catalog 2005 - 2006, p. 6-7.
