Dennis Norlin, ATLA's Executive Director, commented "I am delighted to note that ATLAS has more than doubled in the last four years, now including more than one-hundred key journals in the fields of theology and religious studies. As the professional association of theological librarians, ATLA takes very seriously its responsibility to provide the most current and important articles in our field to the students, faculty and general public, and, through our royalty-sharing program, to help support the publishers of these important journals."

In August, eight new titles were added to the ATLAS collection:

• Criswell Theological Review
• Encounter
• Exchange
• Journal of Empirical Theology
• Journal of Youth Ministry
• Master's Seminary Journal
• Mennonite Quarterly Review
• Vigiliae Christianae

Gregg Taylor, Database Manager for Acquisitions Control, stated "As ATLAS passes its one-hundredth title, the quality and breadth of titles continues to be strong. From early Christianity to youth ministry, from Reformed churches to the Mennonites, the journals participating in ATLAS remain at the forefront of religious scholarship. ATLAS continues to provide exceptional literature in religious studies and theology from publishers small and large."
