Philosophy and Religion Databases
This link takes you to the Butler Library's list of databases and
indexes for philosophy and religion. It is available on-campus and
can be accessed off-campus by Butler students using their network
password. Philosophy students should note particularly the
Philosopher's Index. This index provides
references and abstracts from 480 journals from 1940 to the
present. It also indexes almost all significant books in
philosophy. This is the standard bibliographic tool for
professional philosophers and graduate students, but it is also
useful to undergraduates.
