December 12, 2009 - 3:24pm — mike

The Arts and Sciences VIII collection has been added to the available Jstor resources.  The Arts & Sciences VIII Collection will broaden JSTOR's coverage of core humanities disciplines including history, language & literature, art & art history, and education. Included in this set will be a group of rare 19th and early 20th century American Art periodicals digitized as part of a special project undertaken with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art. With a minimum of 140 titles by its completion in 2011, this collection will also include journals in philosophy, classical studies, and music.
 
H.W.Wilson's Art Abstracts has become Art Full Text.  In addition to indexing over 500 periodicals back as far as 1984, it now includes the full text of over 200 journals back to 1997.  The same quality indexing continues and Art Full Text can be searched with Art Index Retrospective to locate articles published during the past 70 years.
