ATLAS for Alums: A New Service for New Brunswick Alumni
If you are a graduate of New Brunswick Theological Seminary seeking journal articles to help prepare for an upcoming sermon, or perhaps church history articles for Christian education, you now have access to the Seminary's collection of scholarly journals. Through the generosity of the Lilly Endowment, the Gardner A. Sage Library is pleased to announce a new service for New Brunswick Theological Seminary alumni. Called ATLAS for Alum, the database provides access to over 140 full-text articles in religion, theology and related disciplines from 1946 to the present. The service will be available from home or office via the Internet.
More recent graduates will find the service works similarly to the ATLA Religion Index they used as students. For others needing help with the database, assistance is as close as your phone or email. Please contact Cindy Lu, Sage Library's Reference Librarian, at (732) 247-5241 X202 or at clu@nbts.edu. Any comments on this service can be directed to Library Director Christopher Brennan at cbrennan@nbts.edu.
