The Internet Guide is a selective, annotated guide to a wide variety of electronic resources of interest to those who are teaching or studying religion and theology at the undergraduate or graduate level. It has recently been re-designed and re-launched as a relational database – allowing multiple categorizations of a single record and a more complex search function.
Read “About the Internet Guide”
Begin your search by browsing through one of three taxonomies. The Internet Guide is taxonomy driven. It also permits searches within the browse results.
Subject Headings includes various aspects of religion, distinct religious traditions, and religions organized by geographic area;
Personal Headings lists significant theologians, philosophers, and writers, both in alphabetical and chronological order;
Material Types organizes the websites into carefully parsed “genres:” e.g., maps, listserv discussion groups, official web pages of religious bodies, scholarly societies, etc.
Many of the websites are classified under more than one category.
After clicking on one of the Browse categories:
Sort Results by clicking on the red arrow at the top of the columns for “Top Site,” (red star) “Type” or “Title.”
Click on a Topic to perform a new Browse and find all the records categorized under that topic heading.
Search within the results by typing in keywords. In addition you can limit your search to one of the six basic types of materials included in the Internet Guide (syllabi, e-texts, e-journals, images, bibliographies, and web sites).
Keyword Search finds terms that appear in the title or the annotation. Search does not find terms in the “Topics” column, the “Type” column, or on the web site itself.
If you do a keyword search with multiple terms, your results will be only records that contain those terms, in the order in which you typed them, with no other words in between (a phrase search).
Limit Search to one of the six basic categories of types of materials included in the Internet Guide:
syllabi
e-text (links to a book or collection of books)
e-journal (links to the home page of a journal or sometimes a particular article)
images (links to sites that are primarily a database of images)
bibliography (links to sites that are primarily bibliographies)
web (links to websites that do not obviously fall into one of these other genres)
Top Site marks the sites which the Guide’s maintainer considers to be better than average, in terms of resources that are useful for teaching and learning in theology and religion.
