The American Humanities Index™, produced by Whitston Publishing, is now available on the EBSCOhost^® search interface. American Humanities Index is a citation database of more than 700 literary, scholarly and creative journals published in the United States and Canada.

Several unique features make the American Humanities Index an essential source of information on the humanities. The content includes many smaller journals and publications that are unavailable in other reference sources. Publications are indexed cover-to-cover and citations include all original creative works: poetry, fiction, photographs and illustrations. Another important feature is the deep backfile; by February 2003 coverage will extend as far back as 1975.

The searching and linking technology of EBSCOhost further enhances the value of the database. Sophisticated key word searching options and limiters such as publication name, type and date allow researchers to retrieve precise results; or users can choose to search directly from journal and subject authority files. Additionally, full text can be made available through EBSCO SmartLinks™ , which allow researchers to link seamlessly from a citation to the full text available in other elements of a library's electronic collection such as electronic journals, EBSCO full text databases and more.
