Bibliography of Asian Studies
This on-line version of the Bibliography of Asian Studies (BAS)
contains more than 410,000 records on all subjects (especially
humanities and social sciences) pertaining to East, Southeast, and
South Asia published worldwide from 1971 to the present. Through the
1991 printed version, the BAS included citations to western-language
periodical articles, individually authored monographs, chapters in
edited volumes, conference proceedings, anthologies, and
Festschriften, etc. Since 1992, newly published individual monographs
are no longer being added to the database, and users seeking
monographs are urged to consult other general resources and databases
(such as RLIN, OCLC, etc.). The online BAS contains the full data of
all printed editions of the BAS issued from 1971 up to the 1991
edition (published 1997), as well as thousands of entries compiled
since. To quickly bridge the gap in coverage from 1991 to the present,
the BAS staff have identified the most important 100+ periodicals in
Asian Studies, and have given these high priority for indexing to make
their coverage as up-to-date as possible.
