Translation Studies Abstracts (TSA) is a substantial database containing abstracts from leading journals, online publications, collected volumes, and doctoral theses in translation studies and related disciplines. The Bibliography of Translation (BTS) consists of abstracts of authored and collected volumes, and descriptions of leading journals in the field of Translation Studies (BTSJ). You can either quickly search the entire database using the simple search interface or conduct more advanced searches using the advanced search interface. The search engine allows searching using any combination of title (of abstracted item), language of publication, category, author or date of publication, plus key word and full text (of the abstracts). In BTS it is also possible to search by audience, level and relevance of publication. In both TSA and BTS, you can use wildcards to refine your search.

Other features include:

• The ability to sort results by author, date or abstract title.
• The ability to save search results. The search history will automatically store the last 20 searches. Through the search history you can return to any of your search results by clicking “Show results”, or you can refine your search via “Edit search”.
• Links to online publications.
• The ability to save, print and email abstracts.

Access is via password for individual subscribers and via IP address recognition for institutional subscribers. IP recognition is an authenticating process that some websites use to filter out unwanted users. The IP address is usually expressed in dot notation, e.g. 128.121.4.5. The address can be split into a network number (or network address) and a host number unique to each host on the network and sometimes also a subnet address. Institutions such as libraries or corporations with many terminals operating on one site usually have an IP range. To find out what the IP range of your institution is contact your IT department.
