Dear colleagues (apologies for cross-posting),

the Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies (JIABS,
ISSN: 0193-600X) has a new website, hosted by the University Library of
Heidelberg:

http://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/ojs/index.php/jiabs/index

The website offers full and free online access to the journal. Tables of
contents are available for all issues; articles are made available 60 months
after their appearance in print.

Currently issues 1 (1978) to 28/2 (2005) are fully accessible, and
searchable. Articles published up to 1999 have been scanned and run through
automatic OCR - full-text search is therefore possible, but limited
especially when it comes to transliterations of Asian languages. 
For more recent articles the journal's production files are used. The
website also offers RSS and Atom feeds.

The Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies (ISSN
0-193-600XX) is the organ of the International Association of Buddhist
Studies. The JIABS welcomes scholarly contributions in all areas of Buddhist
Studies. A double-blind peer-review process is used to ensure the high
academic quality of all contributions.

With best regards,

Birgit Kellner (co-editor, with Helmut Krasser of the Austrian Academy of
Sciences)
