Moving History Forward

摘要

Current events, current awareness, and faster news mean the immediate present often dominates our worldview. But for many researchers, history informs the latest hot topic. Last year, ABC-CLIO celebrated its 50th anniversary and redesigned its search system to include increased full-text linking. Subscribers to Historical Abstracts and America: History and Life can now link to a wider range of materials, including ProQuest's Dissertations & Theses Database and relevant JSTOR journals from 1838 to 2005. In 2006, ABC-CLIO's two databases indexed 2000 journals and provided 350,000 full-text links. This is especially welcome, since fewer history journals have been digitized than in the sciences and social sciences.
