JST Students and the SCU Library

You get access to several databases through the GTU Library, and SCU Library provides access to hundreds more that are at the tip of your fingers

Start at the SCU Library website to search:

• Library Catalog - our all-in-one search engine that queries the library's catalog, most of the library's subscription databases, and a few collections from Archives & Special Collections
• Religious Studies Databases - Santa Clara University Library may subscribe to some databases that the GTU does not subscribe to in this area
• Other Subject Databases - if you want to get cross disciplinary, find a database by subject, title, or type.
• Ebooks and other digital content like streaming films

Two very familiar databases are ATLA Religion and JSTOR. Both SCU and the GTU offer access to ATLA Religion.

JSTOR coverage is different between the two.

SCU JSTOR Access:

• JSTOR Arts & Sciences I - XI
• JSTOR Arts & Sciences XIV
• JSTOR Arts & Sciences XV
• JSTOR Life Sciences

GTU JSTOR Access:

• JSTOR Arts & Sciences II, III, V, VII
• JSTOR Lang & Lit
