ATLA Religion Database with ATLASerials Plus

ATLA with ATLASerials Plus is a full text database covering literature related to religion. Coverage is deep and extensive, and EBSCO provides a highly functional search interface. Searching by the Scripture field can be difficult, and access is made more accessible through a browsable Scripture Index. The quality of full text PDFs is fair to good, and doesn’t equal the quality of articles available on publishers’ websites. ATLA with ATLASerials Plus is most valuable to universities with strong and active religious studies programs or seminaries. For other educational institutions, web-scale discovery services will likely suffice. Selected topical searches in Ex Libris’s Summon database were quite good at retrieving relevant religious content.
