WorldCat Discovery (catalog): Article Searching

What's In WorldCat Discovery?

WorldCat searches::

  • Books, etc. in our library (displayed first)
  • Consortium libraries: Bethel, United, and St. Paul seminaries (displayed second)
  • Local and regional academic and public libraries
  • Libraries nationwide and Canada
  • Selected article databases
  • Other online resources

Articles Tab

The Articles Tab is configured to search the combined records of our top four journal article databases:

  • ATLA Religion Database
  • Religious & Theological Abstracts
  • Academic Search Complete
  • Expanded Academic Index

The latter two are general academic indexes, but include many journals and articles about or tangential to topics in religion and theology.

Each of these databases also may be searched individually by clicking on the link for each as shown.

Article Searching In Advanced Search

Other databases in a variety of combinations can be added to your search in the Advanced Search interface.

From the menu of all available databases (not pictured), select those you wish to search in addition to WorldCat.org which is the default.  To eliminate WorldCat.org from your search, simply deselect its box.
