American Humanities Index is no longer available directly
from the publisher, Whitston Publishing.

While it is now available from Ebsco, it’s not clear that we will renew at
this point.

In the meantime, AHI has been removed from the database locator.

We now have access to the Dictionary of National Biography online. The title now has “Oxford” in front of it, so search that in HOMER to find the link.

Whoopee, it’s so much fun, you can see the best journals to be published in! Click here for access in the UConn domain, also available via your proxy account.
