	Free Access to the Bibliography of the History of Art / International Bibliography of Art April 1, 2010 The name BHA has been used informally to refer to a group of databases: RAA, RILA, BHA, and IBA. The data available on the Getty Web site as of April 1, 2010, comprises two databases: BHA and IBA. BHA (Bibliography of the History of Art/Bibliographie d'histoire de l'art) covers the years 1990-2007; the Getty Web version includes all records with abstracts in French or English and all subject terms in French and English. IBA (International Bibliography of the History of Art) covers 2008 and part of 2009; the Getty Web version includes all records with abstracts in English and all subject terms in French and English. A third database will be added to the Getty Web site in the future: RILA (Répertoire de la litterature de l'art), which covers 1975–1989. At present, the Getty has no plans to add RAA (Répertoire d'art et d'archéologie), which covers 1973–1989.
	Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians (JSAH) Online April 1, 2010 Beginning with the March, 2010 issue, JSAH online presents the same text content as the print version, but with an expanded illustration program that includes video, sound, 3-D models, panoramic photos, and zoomable images.
