American Theological Library Association Joins OCLC Partnership Program

These days it seems that a day doesn't go by without a news item or two from Dublin, OH. and today is no different.

From the Announcement:

As Partners, OCLC and ATLA will collaborate on programs and activities to enhance services and expand educational opportunities to members of both organizations. ATLA and OCLC have an extensive history of working together on initiatives such as the Jay Jordan IFLA/OCLC Early Career Development Fellowship Program, group services and electronic content offerings. This new partnership formalizes the work already under way and extends the opportunity to explore new ways to anticipate and address the needs of our shared members.

You can learn more about the ATLA here. The association formed in 1946 and is based in Chicago.

On the ATLA web site, you can access two databases for free:

+ Research in Ministry: An Index to DMin and DMiss Project Reports and Theses (RIM) Online

+ CDRI: Digital Resources for the Study of Religion

The Cooperative Digital Resources Initiative (CDRI) of ATLA and the Association of Theological Schools is a repository of digital resources contributed by member libraries. The CDRI database provides access to digital images of woodcuts, photographs, slides, papyri, coins, maps, postcards, manuscripts, lithographs, sermons, shape-note tune books, and various forms of Christian art, architecture, and iconography.

This page contain info about subscription databases including the the ATLA Religion, Serial databases as well as the Database for Developing Countries.
