Announcing the launch of the NEW biab online service from the CBA!
http://www.biab.ac.uk
biab online - the primary research resource for British & Irish
archaeology - has now launched a fully upgraded service.
This free online service now contains c.200,000 records on a huge range
of subjects from Palaeolithic DNA to post-medieval housing, and from
sources as wide-ranging as published books, journals and post-graduate
theses. Powerful new search and browse facilities mean that the dataset
can be interrogated far more closely - plus users can now create their
own accounts and store their searches and retrieved results, building a
reference bibliography as their research takes shape. The launch of the
new service also brings with it an astonishing c.60,000 new references
with the addition of not only over 5,000 new publication references but
also over 55,000 grey literature references from England's
Archaeological Investigations Project (AIP), including technical reports
deposited by archaeological contractors in Historic Environment Records.
A new and improved interface means that users can search for the
references they need, in many cases read abstracts that summarize the
content and, where the publication is available online, click through to
the source.
biab online is an essential tool for anybody carrying out archaeological
research from:
- undergraduate essays to postdoctoral work
- HERs to archaeological contractors
- television screenwriters to archaeological scientists
- national organizations to local societies
biab online is a free service provided by the Council for British
Archaeology and funded by all major heritage agencies in Britain and
Ireland.
