"The Open Commons of Phenomenology is an international research and infrastructure project, whose mission is to provide free access to the full corpus of phenomenology as well as to develop and maintain the digital infrastructure required for its curation, study and dissemination." (From the Open Commons of Phenomenology website, retrieved 7/21/2021) In its present form, it provides some full-text access to some writings of phenomenologists, lengthy bibliographies of the works of many of them, and extensive lists, with partial indexing, of journals and book series in phenomenology. It also posts information on recent and upcoming phenomenological conferences. Among the scholars highlighted: Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Max Scheler, Roman Ingarden, Edith Stein, and Eugen Fink.

This bibliography is best accessed under the “Articles” headings in the A-Z alphabet at the top of the screen (ignoring the “All” choice preceding the A-Z letters). Each article has an introduction and (often) overviews. Sources may include book chapters, books, journal articles, and reference works, often under topical sub-headings. At the end of each entry is “find this resource,” which, when clicked, brings up “find it in your library.” That phrase, when clicked, connects the citation to our library online catalog so that holdings we own will come up.

The Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) is a Special Research Project at the University of California, Irvine. Founded in 1972, the TLG has collected and digitized most literary texts written in Greek from Homer to the fall of Byzantium in AD 1453. It aims to create a comprehensive digital library of Greek literature from antiquity to the present era. We have re-subscribed to this database, but access to its non-open access material is problematic because of unresolved issues between the database supplier and the database transmitter. The New York Public Library (NYPL) subscribes also, but is running into access problems just as we are. The database is available for NYPL cardholders, but can be used on-site only, at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (main library with lion statues) on W. 42nd St. As of June 2023, 68 new works from 33 authors have been added to this database.
