Encounters
Explicating during the last 2 weeks of term? The Oxford Biblical Studies Online offers side-by-side commentary and Biblical text. (Does it up the database’s credibility to know it was accessed 1,200 times by last term’s 40+ Encounters students?). To delve further into the scholarly conversation consider JSTOR and the library’s collections of academic eBooks. More details and search strategies in the Encounters research guide (accessed 1,600 times by last term’s 40+ Encounters students). Research questions? Do let me know! 🙂 Home page:Oxford Biblical Studies Online. Oxford U. Press. 16 May 2016. Web.

How fast does JSTOR grow?
JSTOR is one of the library’s most popular digital collections. Thousands of searches are conducted in JSTOR over a typical year, sometimes thousands of searches are run in a single month. From a recent email, JSTOR, in 2015, added: Archives of 226 journals Comprising 856,000 articles If shelved, the print version would consume 1,348 linear feet of shelving What does this mean for JSTOR‘s collection contents, when taken all together? Archives of 2,300 journals 10.7 million articles in print, this would be 68.9 million pages of text Information from: JSTOR. “988,000 articles added to JSTOR Archive Collections.” Message to Lura Sanborn. 1 Feb. 2016.
