of the Bibliography of Asian Studies (BAS) contains more than 650,000
records on all subjects (especially humanities and social sciences) pertaining
to East, Southeast, and South Asia published worldwide from 1971 to the present.
Through the 1991 printed version, the BAS included citations to western-language
periodical articles, individually authored monographs, chapters in edited
volumes, conference proceedings, anthologies, and Festschriften, etc. Since
1992, newly published individual monographs are no longer being added to the
database. The BAS staff have identified the
most important 100+ periodicals in Asian Studies, and have given these
high priority for indexing to make their coverage as up-to-date as possible.
