Available as a service to OAH members, Recent Scholarship Online is a searchable, cumulative database of history-related citations for articles drawn from over 1,000 journals and for books, dissertations, and CD-ROMs. The database also includes citations to essays not available in the static "Recent Scholarship" listing mentioned above. The collection begins with the "Recent Scholarship" section of the June 2000 Journal of American History.

Features Include:

• Sign-up for personalized email updates and receive emails containing citations to the latest scholarship in categories or containg keywords which you have selected, months before those citations appear in the print issue.

• In addition to creating temporary session bibliographies, you may save, edit, and email bibliographies that you create.

• Enhanced browsing gives you the option of browsing the online version as you do the print version, by issue and category.
