Two periodicals newly available online

The Journal of Ecclesiastical History
Editor(s):
James Carleton Paget, University of Cambridge, UK
Diarmaid MacCulloch, University of Oxford, UK
The Journal of Ecclesiastical History publishes material on all aspects of the history of the Christian Church. It deals with the Church both as an institution and in its relations with other religions and society at large. Each volume includes about twenty articles and roughly three hundred notices of recently published books relevant to the interests of the journal’s readers.
ISSN: 0022-0469
EISSN: 1469-7637

Urban History
Editor(s):
Richard Rodger, University of Leicester, UK
Rosemary Sweet, University of Leicester, UK
Philip J. Ethington, University of Southern California, USA
Urban History occupies a central place in historical scholarship, with an outstanding record of interdisciplinary contributions, and a broad-based and distinguished panel of referees and international advisors. Each issue features wide-ranging research articles covering social, economic, political and cultural aspects of the history of towns and cities. The journal coverage is worldwide in its scope: over half of the articles are on non-British topics, with a very strong concentration on European cities. It has recently developed a new publishing venture, hosting innovative multi-media websites - including graphics, sound and interactive elements - to accompany selected print articles.* The journal also includes book reviews, summaries of PhD theses, and surveys of recent articles in academic journals. In addition, Urban History acts as a forum for stimulating debate on historiographical and methodological issues. An indispensable tool for urban historians worldwide, the journal's annual bibliography features on average over 1000 publications culled from monographs, edited collections and periodicals.

ACLS History E-Book Project

As of this morning, the History E-Book Project of The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), is accessible from all facilities of the ASCSA, and (for members and staff) by way of the proxy server.

"Humanities E-Book is a digital collection offered by the ACLS in collaboration with ten learned societies, nearly 80 contributing publishers, and librarians at the University of Michigan’s Scholarly Publishing Office. The result is an online, fully searchable collection of high-quality books in the Humanities, recommended and reviewed by scholars and featuring unlimited multi-user access and free, downloadable MARC records. HEB is available 24/7 on- and off-campus through standard web browsers."

American School of Classical Studies at Athens is a contributing publisher in the project.

In the next few weeks we will be adding MARC records to Ambrosia for titles we do not already hold, and hyperlinks from the records we do already hold.

JSTOR Update

Update: March7, 2007 - It has been brought to my attention that not all of the new JSTOR journals were actually accessible from the ASCSA at the time I first posted this notice in early February - All of them are now available from within the ASCSA domain (i.e. The Blegen Library, the Gennadius Library, Loring Hall, the Agora Excavations offices, the Princeton office), and to members and staff while outside the domain, by way of the proxy server.

Thanks to an agreement negotiated by CAORC, readers at the American School of Classical Studies now have access to a much broader selection of online periodicals from JSTOR. You may browse an alphabetical list of accessible journals here.

Blegen Library Acquisitions for February 2007
