Numerous easily accessible databases cover almost every subject area in the humanities. The principal database resources in the humanities are described. There are two major database vendors for humanities information: BRS (Bibliographic Retrieval Services) and DIALOG Information Services, Inc. As an introduction to online searching, this article focuses on DIALOG. By searching several databases, a wealth of information can be retrieved. The following databases available through DIALOG are described, with their DIALOG file numbers: (1) America History and Life; (2) Architecture Database; (3) Art Literature International; (4) Artbibliographies Modern; (5) Arts and Humanities Research; (6) Avery Architecture Index; (7) ERIC; (8) Historical Abstracts; (9) Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts; (10) Music Literature International; (11) Philosopher's Index; and (12) Religion Index. These files span a wide range of disciplines. Awareness of what they contain will help the researcher in the humanities decide when an online search will provide more flexibility in researching a given topic. (Contains 10 references.) (SLD)
