Continuously updated, RCL includes over 85,000 resources in 61 curriculum-specific areas and is a co-publication of Choice/ACRL and ProQuest. Learn more about RCL here.

The arts and humanities section includes such subjects as American literature, British literature, classical languages and literature, dance, drama and theater, French language and literature, general language and literature, Germanic languages and literatures, and Italian language and literature. Other areas covered include literatures in English, music, philosophy, religion, Russian and Eastern European languages and literatures, Spanish and Portuguese languages and literatures, and visual arts.
