INFORMATION AND NEWS The program is intended for alumni/ae exclusively. Participants may not share the username or password with others. For the instructions and account name/password needed to access the ATLAS for Alumni/ae program, please contact Paula Skreslet, our Reference Librarian. To reach the ATLAS login screen, click HERE. This program gives graduates of Union-PSCE and BTSR access to the full text of the selective list of journals in the ATLAS database, including more than 200,000 articles and reviews. The ATLAS site provides a search interface, and a help file explaining how to use it. A full list of the periodicals included may be viewed by clicking on "Browse Journals." Major changes and new capabilities for ATLAS ! A completely new capability has just been added to the version of the American Theological Library Association Serials collection known as ATLAS for Alumni/ae. This program now includes full-text searchable PDFs, allowing you to do keyword searching in the body of the article itself, not just in the bibliographic record for the article. This means you can find, for example, all of the articles published in the journal Religion and American Culture that mention the term "ecumenism." You can combine the traditional search fields, such as Journal Title, with the new full-text keyword searching to achieve this result. You can choose to download the original scan (this is usually much faster) or the complete high-resolution PDF for printing or reading online, with zoom capability and very high image quality. Also, you can highlight the term you were searching for within the text and go straight to the places in the article where the word appears, by using the PDF "search within the document" feature (click on the button showing a little pair of binoculars on the PDF toolbar). This is an amazing breakthrough in the functionality of the ATLAS program and its ability to deliver journal articles in full text.
