Aigyptos Egyptological Bibliographical Database

AIGYPTOS is now part of the Online Egyptological Bibliography

Dear AIGYPTOS users,

Most of the AIGYPTOS records have now been imported into the Online Egyptological Bibliography (OEB) and can be accessed there. The remainder will be revised and imported within the next couple of months. As it was in AIGYPTOS, a field specific structured search has now been implemented in the OEB, including database search by keywords (in English language).

The OEB provides its users with far more data, covering almost all Egyptological publications from the early 19th century to the present. However, since it must be largely self sustaining in the future, it has been designed as a pay site.

We like to thank you again for your support of AIGYPTOS and would be happy to welcome you at the OEB.

AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University

AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.

The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.

The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.

AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.

AWOL is syndicated to Facebook and Twitter.
