To this end, we are committed to being a community of scholars who are church-related, and in whose character and servanthood the following are vitally linked: biblical faith, academic integrity, Christian spirituality, love for persons; and a responsible relation with the created order and all humankind.

Appendix B: Electronic Databases

The Nicholson Library subscribes to electronic indexes in several subject areas essential to those engaged in the study of theology and religion. These databases are available to students, faculty, and staff through the library website at http://library.anderson.edu. Click on the link to Periodical Indexes from our homepage and select the appropriate database from either our Alphabetical, Subject, or Provider lists. Although anyone can use these indexes on our campus, you must have a valid Anderson University identification number to access these databases off-campus.

School of Theology students will find the ATLAS Religion Database, sponsored by the American Theological Library Association, a most valuable research tool. Books, dissertations, essays, and journal articles (hundreds of which are full-text) dating back to 1949 and presenting information on all major religious denominations are indexed here.

Other databases important to SOT students include PsycInfo, the Sociological Collection, Academic Search, and ERIC. These databases contain thousands of full-text articles that can be viewed on screen, printed on paper, or e-mailed to anyone in the world. Dissertation Abstracts is an indexing and abstracting service of dissertations and theses from North America and Europe.

If you have questions about using these databases, please e-mail our reference librarian, Barbara Hoover, or click on ASK A LIBRARIAN from our homepage. If you have technical problems connecting to these databases, please e-mail our systems librarian, Jackie De Long.
