World Databases in Humanities
World Databases in Humanities provides evaluative and comparative information on a wide range of electronic databases, giving unrivalled access to all the electronic products available in the field of humanities. It covers databases that are available worldwide in any language and any electronic form - whether on the Internet, on CD-ROM, online, realtime, diskette or tape.
The easy-to-use format provides information on both the database itself and the data providers, with all the details necessary to identify the source that best matches the needs of information specialists, online searchers and researchers working in this field. Each entry includes, where available, name(s) of databases, type of database, years of coverage, numbers of records, geographical coverage, languages, full description, search software, search aids and manuals, and comments from, or references to, database reviews.
Detailed host and information provider contact details are available in a separate section. A database name index, a detailed subject index, a producer index and, especially for this volume, a personal name index and a titles index complete the volume.
World Databases in Humanities includes databases on many subjects such as fine art, music, performing arts, language, literature, history, archeology, religion and philosophy and will be an invaluable information resource for humanities faculties, university libraries, library and information professionals, and all those working in the many areas of humanities.
