We inform our academic community that Hellenic Academic Libraries Link has concluded to an agreement with Brill and has secured access with perpetual rights for all of his members to the following electronic resources, covering the needs of the academic community in the field of humanities:

With an established reputation as the most important modern dictionary for Ancient Greek, it brings together 140000 headwords taken from the literature, papyri, inscriptions and other sources of the archaic period up to the 6th Century CE, and occasionally beyond)
- Brill’s Companions to Classical Studies Online I-IV (a series of handbooks, in English, on a wide variety of subjects and persons from Classical Antiquity, and their reception in European culture. Designed for students and scholars, the books explain what sources there are, what methodologies and approaches are appropriate in dealing with them, what issues arise and how they have been treated, and what room there is for disagreement)
- Encyclopedia of Ancient Greek Language and Linguistics Online (a unique work that brings together the latest research from across a range of disciplines which contribute to the knowledge of Ancient Greek, offering a systematic and comprehensive treatment of all aspects of the history and study of Ancient Greek. It is an indispensable research tool for scholars and students of Greek, of linguistics, and of other Indo-European languages, as well as of Biblical literature)

- New Pauly Online (access to the German encyclopedic work for the ancient world Metzler’s Der Neue Pauly and to its English version Brill’s New Pauly.
