The humanities represents an important part of Asian Studies. Asia-Studies Full-text Online has created a section of the database service devoted to Asian Humanities. This is comprised of an infusion of new Asian Studies Humanities content providers to make the Humanities section as robust and comprehensive as the Social Sciences section. Just as with all Asia-Studies Full-Text Content, the humanities content is licensed:

• Peer reviewed journals
• Peer reviewed e-journals
• Scholarly institutional publishers
• Working papers

All subscribers to the Asia-Studies Full-Text database service have full access to the Asia-Studies Humanities section as well.

We set up the highlights section of the original Asia-Studies database service to enable the service to be used as a fast browsing tool to stay current, in addition to the searching and research capabilities. Now, we offer the browsing capability to those interested in a fast way to stay abreast of developments in Asia-Studies Humanities. For searching, all content from both sections is combined in one database.

The separate sections are just for browsing. All searches search all content from both the original social sciences section and the new Humanities section. They are indexed together.

Geographic Coverage

The Humanities section covers the same 53 countries* as the Social Sciences section. Coverage is also excellent of the Pacific Islands from the New Zealand journals.

Subject Coverage

The Humanities section will focus on the traditional Humanities aspects of Asian Studies:

• Arts
