- Arts and Humanities Citation Index. (1977 - 2000;
now
available electronically through ISI web of Science)
Reference Z5937 .A795
- Indexes a large number of English and foreign language
journals. Citation indexes are based on the theory that
authors writing on a topic will cite in footnotes and bibliographies
other authors who have written on the same topic. Since
scholars usually use footnotes to find related articles
on a subject, this type of index indexes the footnotes and
uses them to identify these related articles.
There are three parts to AHCI: (1) the Citation
Index, which lists, under the author's name, all articles,
books, or other materials cited in footnotes or bibliographies
in the journals indexed for a particular year; (2) the
Source Index, which gives full bibliographic information
for the citing articles referred to in the Citation Index;
(3) and the Permuterm Subject Index that provides a subject
approach to listings in the Source Index by means of title
keywords. Web
of Science, a database incorporating Arts and Humanities
Citation Index, covers 1987 to present.

1987 to present
- A collection of multidisciplinary citation databases,
including the electronic versions of ISI's print titles
-- Social Sciences Citation Index, Science Citation Index,
and Arts & Humanities Citation Index. Citation indexes are
based on the theory that authors writing on a topic will
cite in footnotes and bibliographies other authors who have
written on the same topic. Since scholars usually use footnotes
to find related articles on a subject, this type of index
indexes the footnotes and uses them to identify these related
articles. Search for specific articles by subject, author,
journal, and/or author address. Because the information
stored about each article includes the article's cited reference
list (i.e., its bibliography), you can also search for articles
that cite a known author or work. The print version of Arts
& Humanities Citation Index (Reference Z5937 .A795)
is available from 1975 - 2000.
- WorldCat
- Provides access to one of the world's largest databases
of bibliographic information--an online union catalog of
over 28 million records, representing the combined holdings
of over 11,000 libraries in the United States and abroad.
