It is especially valuable because, in addition to listing its book holdings, it indexes articles in the journals it receives. It is searchable by controlled terms for author, title, journal title, etc. and by keywords in titles and other access points, as well as through use of an elaborate subject tree of controlled terms.

    (2) Census is a database of images of ancient works of art that were known during the Renaissance, along with information about them: authorship; conventional title; provenance; current and former locations; Renaissance texts discussing them; and some modern scholarship.
