The Index of Jewish Periodicals and RAMBI

Two databases anyone doing research in Jewish studies will want to know about are:

The Index of Jewish Periodicals is an index on Jewish history, activity and thought. The database provides a guide to English-language articles, book reviews, and feature stories in more than 160 journals devoted to Jewish affairs. The file is intended for students of Jewish thought and others interested in contemporary Jewish and Middle Eastern affairs, with journal coverage going back as far as 1988,

and

RAMBI: The Index of Articles on Jewish Studies is a selective bibliography of articles in the fields of Jewish studies and the study of Eretz Israel. Material here is gathered from thousands of periodicals and from collections of articles in Hebrew, Yiddish, and European languages, mainly from the holdings of the Jewish National and University Library, a world center for research on the Jewish people and Eretz Israel.

I'll continue to highlight resources of interest to my areas of liaison with future posts. Hope this information is helpful to you.
At your service,
Cheryl
