DATABASES

• DBIS, the database information system of the University of Hamburg, provides information and access to general databases in Classics, Philosophy and Jewish Studies.

• Since autumn 2016, the national Subject Information Service for Jewish Studies (Fachinformationsdienst Jüdische Studien = FID) provides password-protected online access to a range of specialist full-text databases in Hebrew:

Index to Hebrew Periodicals
JSTOR Complete Jewish Studies Collection
Otsar ha-Hokhmah
Rav Milim Dictionary

Subscription requests can be submitted to the FID online here.

• The Maimonides Centre has purchased offline access to the Hebrew full-text database of the Bar Ilan Responsa Project. The database provides advanced retrieval options for accessing Biblical texts, Biblical commentaries, and a very large corpus of responsa literature (rabbinical questions and answers). The USB stick can be borrowed in room 5020.
