Noesis allows scholars to disseminate their research efficiently to the global community simply by putting it on-line at their host institutions and letting us know where it is. It includes a topic index built by a team of qualified editors who hand-select resources from the larger dataset.
Users can browse resources by author, collection or topic.
They may also look for resources in our full-text search engine. We are currently developing software to transform Noesis into a full-service mechanism to facilitate communication between scholars of the global philosophical community. Toward this end, we will be adding a dialogue database that allows professionals to converse with each other about any item in the Noesis dataset. The merger should be complete by September of 2000. A Word about Collections Noesis allows professional scholars to disseminate their work in an academically-meaningful manner simply by putting it on the Internet at their own locations and contacting us.
