The Archbishop Ireland Memorial Library has just subscribed to The American Theological Library Associations’ Catholic Periodical and Literature Index for Alum.  This is a nationally known religious studies database with a strong Catholic Identity.  We are now offering UST alumnae access to this database.

ATLA Catholic Periodical Literature Index® (ATLA CPLI®) for Alum covers all aspects of the Catholic faith and lifestyle, and includes over 380,000 index citations of articles and reviews published in Roman Catholic periodicals, Papal documents, church promulgations, and books about the Catholic faith that are authored by Catholics and/or produced by Catholic publishers. Originally developed by the Catholic Library Association, The Catholic Periodical and Literature Index covers content from over 200 periodicals back to 1981.

The library also offers an alumnae subscription to ATLASerials (ATLAS) for Alum, which the library has offered for the past eight years.  ATLASerials (ATLAS) for Alum, is an online collection of major religion and theology journals selected by leading theologians and religious scholars. ATLAS users can read articles or research the history of a topic from as early as 1924 to the present.

Key Features of these databases include 24/7 online access to a comprehensive collection of major religion and theology journals. Researchers may search citations, or full text versions of periodical articles.
