New Digital Resources: Major classical studies index now online
L'Annee Philologique (APh), the foremost scholarly index on Classical Studies, covering periodical articles, modern editions of ancient texts, collections of articles (including Festschriften), book reviews, dissertations, and conference papers. The historical era comprises the second millennium B.C.E. with pre-classical archaeology to roughly 500-800 C.E.

Searching Tips
Modern Author: Search last name only, then narrow
Full Text: Searches the full citation entry, not the full text of the article
Ancient Author: Search Ancient Greek authors in their Latin forms. "V" appears as "u" unless the name starts with V. Fortunately, when the search is run, the name is automatically truncated, so Latin endings shouldn’t be a problem.
Livy -> Liuius (Titus)
Ovid -> Ouidius
Virgil -> Vergilius MaroSubjects and Disciplines: Uses broad headings
Date: Allows searching by date of modern publication
Languages: Articles appear in many European languages. Abstracts can be in English, French, or German, and don't necessarily correspond to the language of the article. If the title and abstract are in English, the original is in English, too. Sometimes articles with Greek or Latin titles are in English, too. To limit search by a particular language, use Other Criteria--Language.
L'Annee Philologique (APh) uses abbreviated journal titles, e.g. PACA (Proceedings of the African Classical Association) or StudRom (Studi romani). Expanded titles are provided when you mouse over the abbreviation.
