The resource, licensed by the California Digital Library, is one of the most comprehensive online chemistry journal collections. Dates of coverage extend from 1997 to the present. Full text and images are available in HTML or PDF format. Articles are generally available before the print edition. International in scope, it is strong in religion, the history of art, and literature, with particular emphasis on current trends in European and world literature.
Most items have abstracts.
The database's breadth of subject coverage and international scope complement databases with a more narrow focus, making it an invaluable resource for research libraries. RLG is making the entire database available online in the U.S. for the first time. There is no print version of this resource, although a CD-ROM version does exist. The Anthropological Literature database contains citations to articles and essays in the fields of anthropology and archaeology, as well as art history, ethnohistory, geography, genetics, folklore, geology, history, linguistics, music, and religion. The database is small and contains citations indexed from 1984 to the present in English and other European languages.
