Over the past few weeks we've posted information regarding changes to the databases that Grasselli Library provides to the John Carroll University community. If you have any questions, please contact the library liaison in the appropriate subject area or call the Reference Desk (x4234).
Grasselli Library, along with the other OhioLINK members, now has access to Ebsco’s Literary Reference Center, a comprehensive database that provides users with a broad spectrum of information on thousands of authors and their works across literary disciplines and timeframes. Includes plot summaries, author biographies, author interviews, book reviews, poems, short stories, and images. In addition, Grasselli has bought Gale’s Literature Resource Center and Scribner Writers Series . The Literary Resource Center contains biographical information, overviews, full-text literary criticism and reviews on nearly 130,000 writers in all disciplines, from all time periods and from around the world. It incorporates other Gale series, such as Contemporary Authors, the Dictionary of Literary Biography, and most of the literature criticism series. The Scribner Writers Series includes 15-20 page signed essays on more than 1,600 authors and literary genres drawn from 13 acclaimed Scribner print series. These changes, coupled with our existing database subscriptions, will increase the amount of material available to faculty and students in support of John Carroll’s curricular needs.
