3 Sep 2006: Our pilot project of making the RSVP Bibliography available online continues. Now you can search the entire bibliography from 1999-2005, read the editors' introductions, scan the journal lists, and search the subject indexes. The Society hopes that making the bibliography available in a searchable format will help scholars from all disciplines with their research. More years of the bibliography are forthcoming online.
