Library Resources & Info

As an online program, new resources are constantly being updated and developed, and we strive to have the most helpful resources available for our students. 

 

In July 2018, Westminster updated it's journal access to ATLA PLUS which includes many new resources, including full text PDF versions of CCEF's Journal of Biblical Counseling.  

 

Westminster Access to ATLA Journal Resources

What it is: We are excited to offer our online students access to the massive ATLA Religion Database (ATLA RDB) which offers 2.1 million records, including almost 2000 journals and over 775,000 individual articles from all fields of religion. To learn more about their online resources, visit their website.

 

What it isn’t: This database is a collection of diverse writings from a variety of theological perspectives and traditions. With this being the case, articles within this database do not necessarily (and often will certainly not) be in alignment with the theology of Westminster Seminary.

 

What does it mean for you as a Westminster student: By following the instructions below, you can search their database for helpful resources like commentaries, books, and more to help aid in your coursework.

To log in, first enter your last name and student ID number. To find your student ID number, when you log in to Populi, you will see it listed underneath your name. Copy the entire number, save the #, into the WTS ID number box above.
