Subject-specific research databases are essential tools to help you identify scholarly material on your topic: journal articles, book chapters, dissertations, proceedings, and other such publications. The first group of databases listed to the right are the primary databases that provide this function in the field of Classics. In addition to the primary research databases for Classics, there are other more general databases that also cover Classics scholarship, among other fields. After using these research databases to identify materials on your topic, you will next need to find the source materials, either in our Libraries' holdings or the holdings of other institutions. To do this second step, see the Finding Books & Library Holdings section above. In addition to the bibliographic research databases, there are many specialized resources for Classical Studies that include images, the full text of ancient writings, and other information pertinent to Classicists. Several that the Libraries subscribe to are listed here. Some Classics databases are in CD-ROM format, available for use in the MSEL Audio-Visual Center on A Level. These are listed to the right. |
