journal, compilation or index, magazine or political pamphlet), language and
country of origin. The elimination of those resources which are thin attempts
to advertise paper versions, and the strict categorization of resources by
type, makes this database an invaluable resource for scholars, librarians
and students." A number of philosophy sources are linked from this site.
