Electronic Resources for ClassicistsMost of these resources are accessible via the Classics section of OxLIP+ See SOLO: Search Oxford Libraries Online :http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk OLIS is Oxford University's online union library catalogue. It contains records for over five million of the estimated ten million titles held by libraries associated with Oxford University. Oxford Libraries Information System (OLIS) A quick guide to a few major classical resources available in Oxford: L'Année philologique – Essential bibliographic resource for all classical disciplines. Use this to find books and articles on specific subjects or ancient authors. You can search by various different criteria, e.g. modern author, ancient author, keyword, subject, date, etc. It is also very useful to track down abbreviations used for journal titles, as you can search by abbreviation. A web based resource, does not require any passwords within the Oxford domain. Thesaurus Linguae Graecae – Database for searching virtually all ancient Greek texts surviving from the period between Homer (8th century B.C.) and A.D. 600, and a large number of texts deriving from the period between A.D. 600 and 1453, in excess of 80 million words. Also includes the Canon of Greek Authors and Works, a comprehensive database of all known ancient Greek and Byzantine authors, together with bibliographies of existing critical editions of their extant works. It does not require a password. You can activate hyperlinks within the texts to the Greek lexicon and grammatical tools available on Perseus. Please ensure that you read and understand in full the license agreement before you begin using the TLG. Note well that you may not download large sections of the TLG, and that publications using sources obtained from the TLG should indicate that such material is copyrighted by the TLG and the Regents of the University of California. Perseus Project – Digital library of resources for the study of the ancient world and beyond. Includes texts and translations of many core ancient authors. Provides online Greek and Latin lexica (LSJ and and Lewis & Short). Also morphological analyses, English to Greek and Latin word searches, vocabulary tools, and context searches. The TLG links to the Perseus LSJ and Geek morphological analysis tool. Also includes documentary papyri database. Free website, available everywhere. Cetedoc Library of Christian Latin Texts Online – Tool for searching Latin texts from 240 BC to the present day. Follow this link and scroll down to Full Text databases. Don’t be fooled by the name – Cetedoc covers nearly all Latin texts, including Classical antiquity. This is probably the best search tool for Latin available. ETANA – is a fantastic portal to electronic resources freely available on the WWW that has existed since 1994. Up until recently it served Egyptology and Assyriology. Now, because its creator Chuck Jones has moved from the University of Chicago to the American Academy in Athens, it also contains resources for Greece and Greek. Take a look, especially at the recently added items - some very useful resources on here. New Pauly Online – The New Pauly provides comprehensive coverage of the ancient world from the prehistory of the Aegean (2nd millennium BCE) to late antiquity (600-800 CE). A special section of the encyclopedia is devoted to the reception of the ancient world until the present day and the history of classical scholarship. The scholarship of the New Pauly reflects both traditional and new areas and approaches presented by internationally recognised leading experts. The articles in the New Pauly cover all aspects of the ancient world: persons, places, institutions, events, artifacts, technical terms, ideas and concepts etc. The subject goes beyond the traditional paradigm by giving special attention to the interaction between Greek and Roman culture and the neighbouring Semitic, Celtic, Germanic etc. cultures. Many articles are illustrated with maps, site plans, genealogical tables, and black-and white photographs. Please ensure that you read and understand in full the rights and permissions information before you begin using the New Pauly. Note well that you may not download large sections of the New Pauly, and that publications using sources obtained from the New Pauly should be accompanied by appropriate acknowledgements. Bibliotheca Teubneriana Latina – CD-Rom database for searching Classical and early Church Latin texts published in the blue Teubner editions. The most recent version is only available via the Classics section of OxLIP-on-the-web. When you click on it be patient. The computer might then ask you which access should be allowed: click on Full Access, then OK. This can be a bit tricky to use; if you are looking for a canonical author such as Cicero or Horace, we recommend using Perseus or, for more complicated queries, Cetedoc. Stand-Alone CDs: Oxford's e-Journals provides a complete list of electronic journals available to the University. Full text, abstracts or table of contents of Classical journals can be reached from here. The back issues of several (e.g. CQ, JRS, JHS, Greece & Rome), archived in the JSTOR digital archive of core scholarly journals, can be cross-searched using the JSTOR interface.
