Backfiles added to International Political Science Abstracts
This database contains over 262,700 records from over 1,000 journals published from 1951 to the present. Approximately 8,000 new records are added to the database each year.
We are pleased to announce that all of the bibliographic records in IPSA are now available online back to Volume One, exclusively on EBSCOhost, making an additional 24 years available. This marks the first time that researchers can access IPSA records as far back as 1951. A previous backfile enhancement provided IPSA records back to 1975, which means that now, EBSCOhost users have access to all 58 years of IPSA records.

New Product: State Papers Online
Eventually we will have the entire collection, but this first installment covers
The Tudors, 1509-1603.
Tons of fun, including the usual Henry VIII hi-jinks.
See if you can find the
"Petition of Tho. Pope, Richard Burbage, John Hemings, Augustine Phillips, William Shakespeare, Wm. Kempe, Wm. Siye, Nicholas Tooley, and other owners and players of the Blackfriars' Theatre, to the Council, for permission to finish the reparations and alterations at that theatre begun at their own expense..." and the notes attached by various "keepers of the record" regarding authenticity.
"State Papers Online, 1509-1714 is a collection of English government documents originating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries – when the King or Queen acted as Prime Minister as well as Monarch. The papers feature the office archives and correspondence of the secretaries of state serving the Monarch as facsimile manuscript documents accessed directly or via the fully searchable Calendar entries (abstracts or transcriptions). This collection contains information on every facet of English government, including social and economic affairs, law and order, religious policy, crown possessions and intelligence gathering as well as Britain's international relations and foreign policy.
But what makes this unique collection truly rise above all others, is the ability to cross search the Calendars and access the documents directly from their individual Calendar entries. By overcoming the difficulty of matching an individual Calendar entry to the original facsimile document, State Papers Online, 1509–1714 marks a huge advance for historians in all disciplines, both as a research tool and as a teaching resource."

New Product: International Philosphical Bibliography and Elenchus Bibliographicus
Bibliographies from 1997 to present
Bibliographies prior to 1997
"The aim of the bibliography is to list philosophical literature as such; the adjective is understood rather strictly, with the result that scientific disciplines which are more or less related to philosophy, and even the auxiliary sciences of philosophy and of the history of philosophy, are not treated of in their own right. Only publications relating to the methods or the philosophy of these sciences, together with publications of a general nature relative to the objects treated of by these disciplines, are referred to; these will be found in the section of the bibliography devoted to the corresponding branch of philosophy. This rule applies particularly to the following disciplines: symbolic logic, linguistics, psychology, aesthetics and theology."
In principle, the bibliography is confined to philosophical literature published in the following languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan. No claim is made to give an exhaustive list of works published in other languages.
Elenchus bibliographicus
"1998 to current of Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses (ETL), The bibliography (ca. 15,000 entries) covers the entire field of Theology and Canon Law: History of Theology, History of Religions, Old and New Testament, Fundamental and Dogmatic Theology, Sacramentology and Liturgy, Ascetic and Mystical Theology, Moral and Pastoral Theology, and Canon Law"

New Product: Aristoteles Latinus
"The critical edition of all medieval Greek-Latin translations of Aristotle (Aristoteles Latinus) is one of the main projects supervised and supported by the International Union of Academies. The most important objective of the project is to bring to evidence the various forms in which Aristotle’s texts came to be read in the West. The Latin versions of these texts constituted the main tools for the study of science and philosophy in the Middle Ages. They were considered as being the canonized littera to which all the commentaries on Aristotle’s works referred. The role played by these translations in the development of Western philosophical and scientific terminology can thus hardly be overestimated."
