Information Resources in the Humanities and the Arts

by Anna H. Perrault, Elizabeth S. Aversa, Sonia Wohlmuth

Authoritative, trusted, and timely, Information Resources in the Humanities and the Arts: Sixth Edition introduces new librarians to the breadth of humanities collections, experienced librarians to the nature of humanities scholarship, and the scholars themselves to a wealth of information they might otherwise have missed.

This new version of a classic resource--the first update in over a decade--has been refreshed to account for the myriad of digital resources that have rewritten the rules of the reference and research world, and been expanded to include significantly increased coverage of world literature and languages. This book is invaluable for a wide variety of users: librarians in academic, public, school, and special library settings; researchers in religion, philosophy, literature, and the performing and visual arts; graduate students in library and information science; and teachers and students in humanities, the arts, and interdisciplinary degree programs.

This book is a wonderful reference tool. It contains background information and succinct descriptions of both print and electronic resources in the humanities and the arts. A must-have book for any library's reference department!
